Gov. Gavin Newsom announced today that more than 5.5 million California students will not be allowed to attend school for in-person education this fall. Instead, all education for at least 90% of the state\u2019s children must be held online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the requirements<\/a>, California school districts cannot reopen campuses until their counties stabilize coronavirus infections and hospitalizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor\u2019s announcement follows weeks of pleas from school administrators<\/a> for more direction on how to reopen schools. It will have an extraordinary impact<\/a> on working parents and children, who must remain at home, as well as the state\u2019s battered economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision marks the governor\u2019s most forceful involvement in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Learning is non-negotiable. Schools must provide meaningful instruction during the pandemic whether they’re physically open or not. We all prefer in-class learning, but only if it can be done safely. I believe that as a parent,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mandate applies to private and public K-12 schools, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-three out of California\u2019s 58 counties \u2014 which encompasses about 90% of the state\u2019s school children \u2014 are on the state\u2019s watch list<\/a> and do not comply with the infection benchmarks<\/a>, so their schools will have to stay physically closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes all of Southern California and most of the Bay Area and Central Valley.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With some schools starting the new year as early as Aug. 3, it would be too late for most of them to switch gears for the fall if their counties do come off the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the state\u2019s new requirements, schools can offer in-person instruction only if their county has been removed from the state\u2019s COVID-19 monitoring list for more than 14 days. Additionally, districts must test teachers for the coronavirus every other month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
