All of our focus on reopening is first and foremost on safety for our students and for our educators and for our families. Californias state superintendent tony thurman providing some insight with all things in this uncertain time, the answer isnt so cut and dry because even though as thurman announced most of the states 1000 School Districts plan to reopen on their normal dates in late august and september, not all will do so. There will not be a common opening. Rather School Districts will make their own decisions about when they will open. In this letter to the state legislature, six School Districts took issue with the fall reopening saying the governors revised budget would slash his 19 billion to schools and could delay reopenings. What we also know is that the budget as it is currently construed will require some cuts too many programs and education if we dont receive more funding from the federal government.

It is a new way to practice this ancient religion due to coronavirus fueled shelter in place restrictions. The us Justice Department warns California Space to reopening places a quote unfair burden on houses of worship and violate civil rights protections for quote unequal treatment of communities.
