Although California has yet to present a timetable for reopening its more than 900 school districts, Gov. Gavin Newsom said students and teachers should expect things to look very different when they eventually return to their schools.

More than 6.1 million students are enrolled in California’s public school system. Newsom announced at the beginning of April that all schools in California will remain closed for the remainder of the school year, posing a hardship for families who depend on school for child care and nutrition.
