The fiscal year of July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021, dealt a blow to Orange County’s 28 school districts thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The coronavirus was unique in that very few school-aged children were impacted by the pandemic, but schools were closed all the same.
