3. California schools likely to remain closed for rest of academic year, superintendent says

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) — California schools will likely remained closed for the rest of the academic year due to the coronavirus outbreak, the state’s superintendent said in a letter sent to school district officials.

“Due to the current safety concerns and needs for ongoing social distancing it currently appears that our students will not be able to return to school campuses before the end of the school year,” said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. “This is in no way to suggest that school is over for the year, but rather we should put all efforts into strengthening our delivery of education through distance learning.”

Thurmond acknowledged the hardships for some students, families, and educators but urged school districts to move towards and strengthen their distance learning programs.

He also said the California Department of Education is prepared to assist school districts and educations by providing resources, webinars, and training on distance learning.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom also said it was unlikely that schools will reopen this academic year.

4. I watch the Newsom press conferences every day. I know he said it wasn't likely.

The reason I ask is that I work for a school district that is telling us they’re going to re-open on May 4th.
I know the Governor said today there would be more guidance about the remainder of the school year in the next day or two.
