Sacramento, CA — The head of the California Senate Republican caucus argues that Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to bring more students back to school campuses falls short.
We reported earlier that the Governor and Democratic lawmakers agreed to a tentative package that would pay extra funding to districts that reopen by March 31st (a combined $6.6-billion). The idea is to provide incentives for schools to do at least some type of in-person learning. Most of the rural school districts in the Mother Lode have been providing in-person learning for several months, but the urban districts have mostly stayed with distance learning.
