Orange County schools re-opening in the fall during pandemic — but what’s the plan? |
|
Smaller class sizes and daily temperature checks. Alternating schedules, with some time learning on campus and other times learning online at home. Face masks for all. Those are just some of the ideas that educators are considering as they wait for specific guidelines from the state and public health officials on how to re-open schools during a pandemic. For now, educators in Orange County say there are many more questions than answers.

Orange County celebrates its teachers of the year with a surprise Zoom party |
|
The coronavirus pandemic may have put a wrench in many end-of-the-school-year traditions, but it hasn’t stopped the Orange County Department of Education from celebrating the area’s stand-out educators. With help from officials across Orange County school districts, department professionals threw a Zoom party on Wednesday, May 20, for this year’s six teachers of the year. The winners were chosen from nearly 60 educators nominated for the annual award by the county’s school districts.

2020-21 Inland Empire school year could mix in-person, online classes |
|
In about 10 weeks, the 2020-21 public school year will begin. Probably.
Whether it will look like it did prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic or like distance learning does now or some combination of the two, no one — at the state level or in the Inland Empire — is really sure yet.

Chorus grows among L.A. County school leaders for more reopening support |
|
School leaders in Los Angeles County joined a growing chorus for more state and federal assistance Thursday, May 21, asserting that public school systems will struggle to safely reopen schools this fall without adequate funding. The appeals came in response to an announcement by state Superintendent Tony Thurmond that most California schools would reopen in August or September with public health modifications, ranging from face masks to staggered playtime and smaller class sizes, but need federal dollars to do so.

California districts could pursue teacher layoffs if new state budget cuts K-12 funding |
|
School districts may have another opportunity to lay off teachers, which they normally cannot do after mid-May, if the Legislature approves the budget cuts Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing. If adopted next month, Newsom’s proposed 8 percent cut to districts’ general fund would activate a state law not used since the Great Recession. It would set in motion a layoff period through Aug. 15 for those districts that choose to use it.
