California has history of school vaccine mandates. One for COVID would be unprecedented |
|
Mandates that children be vaccinated before attending school date back more than a century in California, but issuing such orders for COVID-19 in many ways is unprecedented, and the prospect is putting health and school officials across the state in a tricky spot. Since Los Angeles Unified earlier this month became the first large school district in the United States to order all eligible students be vaccinated against COVID, a small but growing number of districts have followed, including Oakland Unified this week.

Three Bay Area school districts mandate student vaccines. Others to follow? |
|
School districts in Oakland, Hayward and Piedmont this week became the Bay Area’s first to require eligible students to get COVID-19 vaccines in the coming weeks, and others soon may follow after California’s top health official said Thursday he’s mulling whether to issue a statewide mandate. California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said state officials have been closely monitoring what steps local school districts are taking to ward off the virus’ spread, which has been driven by the highly contagious delta variant since early summer.

Why phonics instruction is not enough for English learners |
|
As California launches a new literacy campaign, some advocates worry that for English learners, a focus on sounding out words will come at the expense of learning the meaning of words. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced a new statewide literacy campaign on Tuesday to help all third grade students in the state learn to read by the year 2026. For those learning English, that roadmap may look very different.
