The Hayward Unified School District will switch to all-remote learning for its 20,000 students on Tuesday – the first in the Bay Area to revert to online learning for the next week – at least – despite being warned by the county and the state that they should not do that.

"What we told them was, we want to do whatever we can," Smith McDonald said. "The same thing the state told them. But their board made a different decision and it's not a decision not without risks." Hayward Unified said on Friday, 365 staff members called out: 117 staff members tested positive for COVID, another 33 were out because of possible exposure to COVID. The district also said they had 81 classrooms on Friday with no substitute teacher available.
When a district gets the waiver to close, that closure is supposed to be for five days and no online classes can happen during that time.
