Media Statement:
Butte County Remains in Tier 2, Schools May Open
As part of the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, the State updates the tier status for every
th
county in California on Tuesday at noon. As of today, October 13, Butte County has
remained in Tier 2 (RED) for two consecutive weeks. This means that all schools in Butte
County may choose to open for in-person instruction effective immediately.
Schools who choose to open for in-person instruction must follow the State COVID-19
Guidance for Schools and School Based Programs. The State guidance applies to all schools
reopening for in-person instruction including public (traditional and charter) and private
schools. Schools may view the State’s frequently asked questions about this guidance. This
guidance should not be confused as a recommendation, but rather a requirement of the State.
Lastly, now that schools may open, a school waiver is no longer required and the school
waiver process will be on hold.
