Ridgecrest Daily Independent
Governor Gavin Newsom signed a $6.6 billion package on Friday intended to accelerate the return of in-person instruction in California.
A portion of funds $2 billion will go toward safety measures to support in-person learning. The other $4.6 billion will go toward expanded learning opportunities, including summer school, tutoring, mental health services and more.
“This package of funding and supports for our schools recognizes that in-person education is essential to meet not only the learning needs, but [also] the mental health and social-emotional needs of our kids – especially the youngest and the most vulnerable,” Newsom said.
