Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday again called on schools to reopen for full-time in-person instruction in the fall, though it remains unclear whether the state will require it.
Newsom made the announcement at Santa Rosa’s Sheppard Elementary School, which opened for in-person instruction Tuesday following the reopening of dozens of Los Angeles Unified schools and more than 9,000 others throughout the state. Touting the number of schools that have already reopened their campuses, Newsom had a clear message for K-12 administrators: Start planning for the fall.
