COVID-19 update: Governor announces phased-in vaccination requirement for K-12 students |
|
Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a phased approach for requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for K-12 students, laying out a timeline that begins when federal officials grant full approval for doses to younger age groups. At a morning news conference, Newsom said the first phase of the mandate calls for students in grades seven through 12 who attend public or private schools in person to be vaccinated at the start of a new semester. But the requirement won’t kick in until after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifts its emergency use authorization and issues full and final approval to vaccines for children 12 to 15.

New book documents the bond between two families during OC school desegregation fight |
|
A new book is set to tell the story of how two immigrant families intersected on the path to desegregating public schools in Orange County and across California. “The Kindness of Color” is written and self-published by Janice Munemitsu, whose rich family history is intertwined with one of the state’s most far-reaching court cases, Mendez, et al v. Westminster. Noting that next year marks the 75th anniversary of its resolution, the author said she wanted to commemorate the groundbreaking case in the first book of its kind for high school students and adults.

Where did all the school buses go? Some parents want them back |
|
Like roadside diners and picket fences, yellow school buses evoke a warm sense of Americana. But those buses are becoming rarities, as fewer Orange County school districts offer busing. And those that still do offer bus rides generally charge hundreds of dollars for the service. Getting kids to and from school may seem part and parcel to public education. However, California neither obliges nor bankrolls school busing except in special cases, such as for children with learning disabilities.

Inside one California school's approach to reading as a 'civil right' |
|
For Richmond’s Nystrom Elementary School, students’ longstanding struggle with reading is not only an academic issue but one about civil rights. The Bay Area school began the year with a proclamation that acknowledges that systemic racism has led to disproportionate outcomes in reading skills for children of color for generations. It asserts that every student is capable of reading and that it’s the school’s responsibility to ensure every child leaves Nystrom a skilled reader.

California to require Covid vaccine for all students, Newsom says |
|
All California students and school staff will be required to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as January 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday.
The mandate, the nation’s first, applies to all students in kindergarten through 12th grade in public, charter and private schools, and all school employees. It goes into effect in the first semester, either Jan. 1 or July 1, following the Federal Drug Administration’s full approval of the Covid vaccine for each age group.
