Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District leaders are preparing for students to return to classrooms in a “hybrid” format as schools request parents to complete “Intent to Return” forms by Friday.

In a press release issued Monday, Sheila McCabe, the district’s assistant superintendent of educational services, said the governing board voted to return to a hybrid model once Solano County maintains five consecutive days in the red tier, which is designated when daily new cases fall to four to seven per 100,000 persons and positive test rates range from 5 to 8 percent.

But the California Department of Public Health notes that while the red tier means a “substantial” risk level for COVID-19 infection, schools can reopen for in-person instruction after they have remained in the tier for 14 days.
