The Center for Cities + Schools at U.C. Berkeley Provides Technical Assistance on School Reopening

In late August, CC+S published a guidance brief titled, Reopening Schools Safely and Equitably Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic.The brief describes how the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads and why mitigation measures are recommended for schools. It argues that it will be more difficult for schools with poor condition facilities to effectively implement the SARS-CoV-2 mitigation measures. As a result, students and staff attending these schools will face greater health risks.

CC+S is also curating tools developed by experts to assist local schools and states in safely and equitably reopening their school facilities.
