California teachers’ latest demand: Free childcare POLITICO 1 hr ago By Mackenzie Mays © Jae C. Hong/AP Photo Kindergarten teacher Maggie Garcia, right, hands printouts to her students at West Orange Elementary School in Orange, Calif. The school has been hybrid since fall last year.
SACRAMENTO California teachers are ready to go back to the classroom. But the state’s largest union has a new ask: free childcare for their own kids.
The demand is salt in the wound for parents who struggled with distance learning at home amid intense reopening negotiations that have dragged on for a year.
As part of school reopening agreements in San Diego, Sacramento and San Jose, unions successfully fought for policies that allow employees to bring their children to the classroom as in-person instruction resumes.

Since the pandemic began, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been managing a massive public health response, reaching every part of the U.S.
It s been a long year for basically everyone and especially for Dr. Henry Walke. For months on end, Walke has been pulling 13-hour work days as the COVID-19 incident response manager at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a job he took on last July.
He never expected the job to last this long. The scale of this pandemic is mind-boggling, and it s affected all of us every facet of our work and home, he says.
