How to Use This Guidance Document

As COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted and Alameda County has aligned itself with both state and federal guidance, we have created a document for the 2022-23 school year that makes it easier for you to go directly to the source for resources, guidance and pertinent documents. Please note that many of the links include the date of their most recent version for your clarity. Links in teal circles are resources and links in orange circles correspond to FAQs. We will continue to ensure that these links are updated and that any other relevant information is added. Stars in the table of contents indicate the pages where updates have occurred.
