schools are rushing to firm up plans for the fall. we learned some of the details for oakland elementary schools and what it will mean for students, parents and teachers. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm kristen sze. education is one of the pillars in our efforts to build a better bay area. in many ways, this year is more important than ever. what will happen to oakland schools this fall. >> reporter: abc7 news obtain ad copy of the plans for opening elementary schools called strong start for every student. while the fall semester is eg on august 10th, teachers will return on august 5th for prep time, giving them only a few days to get ready. >> with the education association bargaining team. >> we just got thrown into this because of the health crisis and

there's not been sufficient training to roll it out in any way, shape or form by august 5th. >> reporter: the recommendation is to begin online. for the first two weeks, teachers will have zoom sessions to inform they will of the semester's expectations. each family gets about 45 minutes. during the two weeks, teachers will assess their studens while they also work on homework. on week three, teachers will determine where students stand academically. from there they will be put into groups which the district has determined is the most effective way to teach students during this pandemic. here's what oakland superintendent said in early july in anticipation of the plan. >> we have to start that process of actually having a specifc plan at the elementary, middle level and high school level for in person learning. that's an expectation of all

districts. small group instruction will begin in week four, again, online. this person is concerned with the lack of adequate technology. >> four or five kids in school. it will be a lot of technical difficulties with that. >> reporter: the expectation is that schools will take a hybrid approach to teaching after those four weeks. what that will look like has yet to be determined if it happens at all. >> all of that which you just heard is being negotiated at this moment with the teachers union. eventually the bargaining team will have to approve something before the members vote. in a about an hour, the school district will have a press conference to talk about these recommendations, including plans at middle and high schools. well, of course, keep you in the loop. lyanne melendez.

the question of how to do it is asked every day. we clarify, who is saying what? >> reporter: if you were to ask where different experts stand on masks, take dr. anthony fauci. in a recent news conferece he said wear a mask, period. dr. sarah cody in talking about santa clara county schools said yes to masks but with more conditions. some students but not all should wear them. and not at all times. for example, it should be a requirement for middle and high school students but not for the younger kids. the cdc issues a more generic guideline that students and teachers wear masks whenever feasible. the merge academy of pediatrics representingoss the country issued advice to wear masks only if they are developmentally appropriate and can be worn safely. science magazine looked at practices around the world.

here's the divide. china, south korea, japan and vietnam. schools there required masks for almost all students. while in canada, denmark, norway, the u.k. and sweden, masks are optional for students and staff. she says if there's some consensus at all, it's this. >> the studies have found pretty consistently, kids are about a half to a third as likely to catch the virus and that's especially true in younger kids. >> that low risk at ymca, caring for more than 10,000 work children and essential workers at the height of the pandemic. they recorded no more than one case at any of their sites. she said have the the people she interviewed agreed, the guidelines must be nimble and tailored to the community. >> we want the answer, what should a school do but i don't think there's one anxious. i think it depends on that community, on what's happening

there with the virus, it depends on a lot of factors. >> reporter: chris reyes, abc7 news. >> let's dive a little deep entire this. what can you tell us about coronavirus and school age children? this has been. so different information coming out over the last four months. >> a lot of information right now. kids seem less susceptible to coronavirus. they're getting less hospitalizations, less icu stays. cdc reports looking the a all cases in the states from january until the end of may show school age children from age 0-9 are only 1.5%. but this could change as we gather more kids together and we drive up more person to person transmission. we've seen increased reports

about multisystem inflammatory system as well. it's not that kids are spared. it's just that all the data looks promising. >> i know this is a little tricky to answer, doctor, but could kids be safe at school? there's a reason that the flu spreads and colds spread in schools so ramp antly. we can't expect kids to follow all the rules all the time and they're in close quarters. can they be safe in a coronavirus environment? >> we definitely can't expect our kids to follow all the rules. even answering this question right now is giving me anxiety. any school district anywhere in the country in any county needs to be ready for the reality that coronavirus could show up at that school at any day. so kids, regardless of what we think right now, may or may not be safe depending on the school. so i'll echo the american academy of pediatrics when say there's no one size fits all rule. so schools need to take into account their specific county, their transmission rate, their

teacher and faculty population, they need to do everything they can within their limits to create those physical distances, spread desks out, maybe physical barriers, ventilation, windows, anything they can. we have to assume there could be an outbreak at any school any time. we know kids tend to be able to spread things like diarrhea in daycare, 92 and whooping cough. we don't know what will happen in the fall with covid-19. >> that brings me to the next question. obviously kids have not been as adversely affected as older people but could they become super spreaders? maybe the worry isn't as much for their safety, and of course we're concerned about their safety, but could they expose teachers and parents at home and have it spread that way. >> you'll hear it live. no doctor likes to say i don't know but here's the thing, i don't know. we know kids can develop mild cases at the same rate of

adults. there are a lot of asymptomatic kids out there as well. we have to consider the teachers and the faculty. so if you have older teachers, teachers who have co-morbidities, when you gather a lot of kids together, they can potentially get sick. this is why everyone is stressing that teachers need to have a back-up plan and a way to protect the faculty. we focus on the children but also everyone else working at the school. don't get me wrong. 55 million kids have been at home without school and that represents a huge, huge gap in not only academic needs but social ones as well. we have to figure out how to do it safely. >> it is a huge lethk us faced with a coronavirus outbreak at state prisons, california announced it will release about 8,000 inmates by august. the releases will be on a rolling basis and will include those whose sentences are ending

soon as well as those who might get infected. it will be those with six months or less hers a welcome at the coronavirus numbers across the state up to the minute. there are 296,499 cases in california. there are 33,606 cases in the greater bay area. sonoma county is the greatest addition to the watch list with 1561 cases. for residents there, that notice means a likely shutdown and another tough time for businesses already reeling and devastated. wayne freedman is live in petaluma tonight. some very disturbing news. >> reporter: if you want to gauge reaction, it comowoo dis. the second word might be perseverance. the only good news is that in home anda county, people have been you this this before.

penalties for people caught on the street not wearing masks like a lot of other counties are doing. live in petaluma. >> thank you. zoo is reopening to the public on july 15th. i think it's the 13. we'll check only. it was expecting to sooner but then it got put on hold due to rising covid-19 cases in the city. today city officials gave it permission to reopen. july 15th. the city will provide reopening guidance for some other businesses like hair salons and tattoo shops next week. an exciting story we first told you about. a 6-year-old east bay girl has been selling home made bracelets to raise money for the oakland zoo, now in danger of closing because of the pandemic. she's raised over $100,000. her friends will help make the bracelets to deal with the huge
