Earlier fall opening for schools? Idea under review, but questions loom

another North County Beach will open
this week good evening and thanks for
joining us i’m barbara Lee Edwards I’m
Carlos Aquino the news came tonight just
hours after the governor announced that
California could be easing into the next
phase of reopening the state’s economy
within weeks he also said schools could
possibly begin the new school year as
early as July to make up for lost
learning news 8’s Richard Allen has
today’s big developments well that’s
right Del Mar will be reopening its
public beaches beginning Thursday
morning although only for individual
activities like running walking and
swimming in the meantime summer break
may be cut short for millions of
California students as state leaders
decide when to transition from our
current phase of the stay at home orders
into Phase two we believe we are weeks
not months away from making meaningful
modifications and one of those most
significant changes in the governor’s
phased-in roadmap to reopen in
California announced on Tuesday could be
when school start up the new school year
we are considering the prospect of an
even earlier school year into the fall
it’s early as late July early August

/> currently millions of students statewide
are now distance learning under the stay
at home orders that learning loss is
very real the State Superintendent of
Schools says that in reopening
California schools social distancing
would require smaller class sizes and
the possibility of hiring more teachers
along with the need to secure more
personal protective equipment and
cleaning supplies will be focused
importantly on making sure that the
environment is safe for kids but also
safe for teachers this reopening of
California schools would be part of
phase 2 which would also see the careful
reopening of so called lower risk
businesses that would still permit
physical distancing these include things
like retail allowing for curbside pickup
manufacturing which can include things
like toys clothing other things
furniture that was not a part of the
central sector further down the road
phase three of reopening California’s
economy would encompass higher risk
personal care businesses gyms and spas
and nail salons and people wanting to
get haircuts all of us those would fall
into the third phase and stage four
would involve the highest risk areas
including concerts convention centers
and live audience sports although the
governor today was quick to point out
that phases three and four unlike two
would be months away not weeks
