SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The San Jose Unified School District will begin the fall semester with distance learning, officials announced Thursday evening.

At-home learning for students will continue for at least the first six weeks of the instructional calendar, through October 2.


This after the results were shared from a survey sent out to the San Jose Unified community on how they wished to begin the school year.

Some takeaways from the survey were:

On Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that a number of indoor activities and industries closed statewide, with additional indoor activities and industries closing in counties that are on the state’s COVID-19 monitoring list for three days or longer, including Santa Clara County.

The San Jose Teachers Association and the California Teachers Association said last week that teachers would not provide in-person instruction in August because it was unsafe.

Gov. Newsom on Friday will announce updated guidance for reopening California schools amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
