Governor: California Schools Likely Won't Reopen Before Summer

In what may come as a blow to both working and stay-at-home parents, California Governor Gavin Newsom has revealed the state's schools will likely remain closed through the end of the school year.

"I would plan and assume it is unlikely that many of these schools, few if any, will open before the summer break," Newsom said during a streaming press conference Tuesday. "To six-plus million kids in our system and their families, they need to make some plans at a time when a lot of plans are already being curtailed." The state has applied for a federal waiver that would excuse students from taking academic tests once schools reopen, he added.

Newsom's revelation came shortly after the governor of Kansas ordered all of the state's K-12 schools to remain closed for the rest of the school year.

Is it an adjustment to have your kids home when they'd normally be at school? Are students going to lose out on education because of this pandemic?
