As in-person instruction begins across the state, California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared in San Bernardino County for a press conference Aug. 6 while visiting a local school.
“We want to keep our kids safe,” Newsom said. “We want them back in person for in-person instruction. We don’t want our kids back on Zoom school. We don’t want our kids back online with all the disparities that were self-evident in another classroom I was in when I asked them how their download speeds are, and the fact that a young child, in first grade, is talking about impacts of this pandemic and how disproportionate it has been.”
