Local school districts are evaluating new possibilities for state grants after news broke Monday that California officials would be giving $2 billion to reopen campuses for students in transitional kindergarten through second grade by April 1.
“We are very encouraged to see our legislative leaders and Gov. Newsom reach an agreement on reopening schools, for all those schools throughout the state that have yet to reopen,” said Ocean View School District Supt. Carol Hansen.
Hansen said the district is currently working with union officials on a plan to transition from the in-person hybrid schedule to have students in school five days a week.
Rep. Michelle Steel (CA-48) joined school officials and parents yesterday to tour two Orange County schools that have returned to in-person learning and are operating safely and effectively for students.
At Gisler Elementary School in Fountain Valley, Rep. Steel joined Superintendent Mark Johnson, Principal Teri Malpass, School Board President Sandra Crandall and Board Members Jeanne Galindo and Jim Cunneen for a tour of the school facilities to learn more about their hybrid learning and the safety precautions they have taken to protect students and their families. The school, which serves transitional kindergarten to 5th grade, is currently undergoing construction to make safety updates for their students and teachers. Gisler parents have the option to choose a hybrid program or all-virtual learning for their students. The school began this hybrid model of education on September 22, 2020.
