Orange County school reopenings: joy, anxiety and gallons of hand sanitizer
Out of 29 school districts in the county, 10 have announced plans to open for in-person instruction by the end of the month.“It is with great excitement that we welcomed our elementary age students back to school, returning for in-person learning with their teachers and support staff,” Fountain Valley Superintendent Mark Johnson said.
“Everyone wanted us to reopen, and I felt like Orange County was rushing it. ... I’m terrified for the safety of my coworkers and my students, they’re my babies,” she said. “But right now our main concern is how to protect the kids.
Irvine and Saddleback teachers also pushed back on reopening plans by circulating petitions and sending them to their school boards. She attached plastic screens to each table and organized school supplies for the students, since they could no longer share supplies. Days before, she installed a temperature check on the wall by the door for students to pass by before entering the classroom.
When a student has a question or requires assistance, they’ll make their way over to a yellow Velcro dot on the floor that is a safe distance from her and the other classmates. “My fears are the same as everyone else. I don’t want my [child] to get sick and then then bring it home and get the family sick,” she said.
