County. And then marine county now growing to 15 Solano County 9 Sonoma County 6. Napa still reporting no cases, however, as you know there probably are thats the whole idea youre supposed to act as if you have the virus thats how youre going to make sure you dont read it. Big news when it comes to your kids it looks like its very likely that theyre not going to go back to school for the rest of the year thats where the governor hinted at and kansas has become the first state in the nation to call it for the rest of the year the kids are out of School Governor newsome sent a warning about that possibility yesterday kron fours will tran is live with the latest well. Its a warning at this point duryea but it looks like pretty much a done deal, although he will not go there all together. Yet now many schools, 99 of them right now very about 6 million kids stare home right now because the schools voluntarily send the kids home at least until the first week of april including Law High School in San Francisco, there is a good chance according to the governor that their kids wont come back. Next week a week after their scheduled return date and like you said my naive or return. Before the end of the school year giving them the rest of the school year off social distance and the summer to slow down the spread of coronavirus hes working with President Trump right now for federal funding because when the kids are not in school that means the School District the School System does not get the money thats why they take attendance every day so as far as the budget that takes a major hit as well but he says thats not his top priority. The top priority for him are the kids including his own kids that he had to tell his daughter that there is a good chance she wont be returning to her friends as well listen in to the governor explained. His rationale. Let me be candid. This is a very sober thing to say. I can say this with certainty but i can say this quite learned late. Dont anticipate schools are going open up in a week please dont anticipate in a few weeks and i say that because one needs to be honest and i need to be accountable to you i want to mislead you to 6 plus million kids and our system and their families they need to make some plans at a time when a lot of plans are already being curtailed the planning with kids some of the most challenging a planning i would plan in assume its unlikely. That many of these schools, a few if any will open up before the summer break. Okc just heard the governor said challenging planning, lets face it if youre a parent out there most to you your jobs drop when you found that out because he was already very stressful for 3 weeks off possibly a month and now were looking at the rest of the school year. The governor is fully aware of that which is why he says if they dont return to the schools, he wants to keep a lot of them open for day care bring in the person now make sure they have social distance and james terry of the reason why he did not slam the door on closing the entire school year because he needs to keep them open because lets face it weve done this story extensively that a lot of low income kids they rely on the schools for food. Back to yes they do lets talk about that. Well San Francisco unified School District is providing 3 meals a day for students.
