LA Unified Schools Will Likely Be Penalized Under Newsom’s School Reopening Deal
“You can’t reopen your economy unless you get your schools reopened,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom at the top of his Monday press conference. Newsom joined legislative leaders at the event to announce a multibillion-dollar deal aimed at enticing TK-2 schools to resume in-person instruction by April 1. The agreement, however, may end up penalizing districts like LA Unified. The deal — which still needs formal legislative approval — would create a $2 billion incentive pool, with money doled out to schools that reopen campuses for students in kindergarten through second grade, as well as high-need students of all ages. “We expect that all of our TK-2 classrooms reopen in the next 30 days,” said the governor.

New York City Schools Chancellor Resigns After Firestorms over Racism Policies, Reopening Delays
New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced Friday he will step down from his post in the wake of harsh criticism from parents and others over his “obsession” with “racism” and his handling of the reopening of the city’s schools during the coronavirus pandemic. Carranza, an Arizonan who was hired for the chancellor’s post after Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) first choice candidate suddenly rejected the job at the last minute, said during a press briefing he was resigning due to the loss of a number of his family and friends as a result of the coronavirus. “I know the pandemic has not been easy for you or for any New Yorker,” Carranza said . “And make no mistake, I am a New Yorker — well not by birth, but by choice — a New Yorker who has lost 11 family and close childhood friends to this pandemic. And a New Yorker who, quite frankly, needs to take time to grieve.” The New York Post editorial board wrote Carranza’s “surprise resignation” actually leaves the … [Read more...] about New York City Schools Chancellor Resigns After Firestorms over Racism Policies, Reopening Delays
