True Salon is still closed today despite the lifting of restrictions allowing personal care services to reopen. As the rate of COVID-19 cases lighten, businesses are adjusting to more lax policies on indoor and outdoor services. “I think that the future of salons remains strong but we have had to adapt with our schedules for social distancing and sanitation,” Lori Romero, owner of True Salon in Palo Alto said. “We as stylists are known to double book and multi-task while providing excellent services.”

Principal Brent Kline communicates with Paly parents on the details of the modified reopening plan in the works and answers questions from community members. The plan has shifted significantly since the draft of a reopening plan was discussed by the school board on Nov. 10. Now, the possibility of reopening would take place earliest in February or March for smaller groups of students. “I would say this is more taking the online classes into a classroom supported by a certificated teacher and possibly another… assistant in the classroom,” Kline said. “We’re still working on the details but it’s not going to be the hybrid model that we were promoting earlier.”

The Palo Alto Board of Education met Tuesday night to finalize discussion of and approve a plan that would start to bring students back to school. The first wave of elementary students are slated to return on Oct. 12, though many teachers indicated that they felt uncomfortable returning so soon to in-person teaching as the global pandemic rages on. “I feel confident that we have a safe plan, and that staff has worked really hard to make sure that it is safe,” Board member Shounak Dharap said. “The issues raised by the PAEA have been answered to my ear, with respect to PPE and safety measures.” Photo: Ethan Hwang.
