May 22 Sacramento County s teachers of the year from the last two years will be honored at this Sunday s River Cats game.
The Sacramento County Office of Education has recognized 27 teachers as outstanding educators an unusually large number due to last year s canceled ceremony amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The teachers, whose work between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years is being honored, will be given two free tickets to Sunday s game and will be recognized in the stadium.
Four of the teachers of the year will also make an appearance on the field at Sutter Health Park in a special pre-game ceremony.
Californians as young as 16 are next in line for the Covid-19 vaccine, potentially moving the state another step closer to reopening all schools for full-time in-person instruction. But whether vaccines help to reopen schools depends on whether parents are willing to get their children vaccinated.
On April 15 eligibility for the vaccination will extend to Californians 16 and older. That minimum age could drop even lower in the coming months. Last week, Pfizer-BioNTech announced that its vaccine was “100 percent effective” and safe for children as young as 12. The company plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the vaccine for use in adolescents age 12-15 before the beginning of next school year.
