Update: Glitch is fixed. Distance learning resumes in Oakdale, Riverbank, Valley Home
Distance learning resumed in the Oakdale, Riverbank and Valley Home school districts on Friday afternoon, following computer trouble in the morning.
The glitch involved the system used by the Stanislaus County Office of Education and 14 of the county’s 25 school districts.
“SCOE’s network engineers said that a scheduled antivirus update caused the firewall to crash this morning,” spokeswoman Judy Boring said by email.
The three districts in the northeast county were the first to launch the 2020-21 academic year. Students have been learning at home since March in an effort to slow COVID-19.
Large districts such as Modesto, Turlock and Ceres are not among the users of the SCOE system.
Here are the school start dates for the districts that do use it:
- Chatom: Aug 12
- Denair: Aug. 12
- Hart Ransom: Aug. 10
- Hickman: Aug. 12
- Hughson: Aug. 12
- Keyes: Aug. 12
- Knights Ferry: Aug. 12
- Oakdale: Aug. 6
- Paradise: Aug. 12
- Riverbank: Aug. 6
- Salida: Aug. 14
- SCOE Educational Options: Aug. 11
