Sacramento, CA The head of the California Senate Republican caucus argues that Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to bring more students back to school campuses falls short.
We reported earlier that the Governor and Democratic lawmakers agreed to a tentative package that would pay extra funding to districts that reopen by March 31st (a combined $6.6-billion). The idea is to provide incentives for schools to do at least some type of in-person learning. Most of the rural school districts in the Mother Lode have been providing in-person learning for several months, but the urban districts have mostly stayed with distance learning.

35th district Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham and nine other legislators want answers from the state regarding vaccine distributions.
A bi-partisan group of state legislators sent a letter to the California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly asking for clarification on the COVID-19 vaccine distribution protocols calling the state s process a black box .
Legislators want to get clarification on the state department s decision making when it comes to vaccine allocation per county. A lack of communication and transparency from the administration has resulted in mass confusion by both the general public and our local public health officers, the letter says in part.
Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo)
–This week, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (R-San Luis Obispo) and a bipartisan group of legislators representing rural districts sent a letter to the California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly requesting information about the state’s vaccine distribution protocols.
“Residents in rural counties like the ones we represent are just important as those in Los Angeles,” said Cunningham. “While our counties are being told that they will be receiving miniscule amounts of COVID-19 vaccines for their residents, the administration has propped up at least four large vaccine distribution sites in major population areas and has yet to explain where those doses are coming from.”
