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.”

Gunn High School teachers wrote an open letter to the Palo Alto Unified School District requesting a reconsideration of the reopening plan unanimously passed by the school board. In addition to detailing misleading comments from the meeting, the letter discusses safety risks and damages to student education that could result from the plan. School board member Ken Dauber said the board remains firm on their stance on reopening, nevertheless. “It would be astonishing if we got through these complicated choices without there being disagreement,” Dauber said. “Doesn't mean that I don't understand the positions that people have or that I'm not listening. It's just that … we're looking, I think, at the total situation, and trying to achieve these outcomes, and serve these values.”
