Public comments on OUSD Jan. 25 school board meeting

Ojai Unified School District school board met on Jan. 25. These 15 public comments copied below were submitted for the meeting. In addition, Superintendent Tiffany Morse read aloud some of the handwritten letters from elementary students.
The OUSD elementary schools and Chaparral are open for hybrid schedule in-person instruction because
they were open the week of Nov. 2 when the county of
Ventura was in the red tier (second-to-worst tier). The county is now in the purple tier (worst tier).
Because Matilija Middle School and Nordhoff High School were not open while the county was in the red tier, they are unable to operate on a hybrid schedule, according to the state rules. However, they are able to open in a "small cohort" model, which they are scheduled to start on Feb. 1. Currently, most secondary OUSD students are continuing distance learning until Feb. 22. (This is a recent change since the earlier decision to start secondary schools on Feb. 1.)
The state of California Public Health rules for small cohorts can be read at:

All OUSD students have the option to receive instruction through distance learning.
