BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â The community continues to adjust to a life without long-time Principal John Hefner. He died just over a week ago after a brief battle with cancer. Those close to him say his legacy will live on forever.
During his 40 year career at Fruitvale Junior High School, the former principal touched thousands of lives, in and out of the classroom, locally and globally through the campus and through countless programs he led through History Day and the Bakersfield Sister City Project.

California’s public colleges and universities would receive additional investment under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2021-22 budget proposal in an attempt to keep tuition at current levels, provide students with emergency financial aid and support for basic needs like housing and food, accelerate transition between two- and four-year institutions, and improve pathways to jobs.
Newsom proposed significant new investments in the state’s 116 community college system, totaling about $600 million for a range of ongoing and one-time programs and initiatives. In particular, he drew attention to the increased number of students dropping out of community colleges because of the pandemic, and included proposals to “re-engage” as many of those students as possible.
