A serious increase in California coronavirus cases has caused a statewide rollback that included Santa Cruz County moving back to the most restrictive or “Purple Tier”.
The Santa Cruz County Office of Education announced the change will temporarily stop schools from expanding to hybrid learning.
Late last month it was announced the SC county schools would begin hybrid learning in January.
This means students still have several more months of learning strictly from home in Santa Cruz County.
Any schools that have already opened can remain open. The small group instruction on campus for students who were struggling at home will also continue while Santa Cruz remains in the most restrictive tier.
