California's 6.2 million students can expect temperature checks upon entering schools and buses, extensive hand washing throughout the day, physical distancing requirements — in classes, in hallways, at recess, on school buses — and face coverings for students and staff at all times except when eating and drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on everything we know about providing education,\" said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. \"It forces us to enter into a new conversation about the way we provide instruction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, school districts will decide when and how to reopen campuses. Thurmond stressed that the guidelines are not mandatory and can't offer a one-size-fits-all model for the state's 1,000 school districts. But they aim to provide multiple scenarios to help schools find the best approach for safely reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manual titled, \"Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California's Public Schools,\" can serve as a road map for school districts as they prepare for the return of classes, Thurmond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many parents have expressed interest in continuing distance learning for safety reasons, and Thurmond said he is encouraging districts to maintain at-home instruction to the extent they can to ensure smaller class sizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Parents are asking for it, let's use that as a strategy, let's plan for it,\" Thurmond said about continued online learning in the fall, which will be needed as schools accommodate a smaller number of students at a time. The department also recommends schools be prepared to shutter again and go online because of a virus outbreak, power shut-offs to prevent wildfires, or other natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's high anxiety at so many levels on this ... We just have to be kind to each other,\" said Mary Jane Burke, Marin County superintendent of schools. \"But also be clear that it's not ‘Are we going to open schools?’ It's ‘What are the conditions that need to be in place?’ because we have got to get kids back into classrooms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>School Won't Look the Same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The guidelines include new models for classroom instruction, such as rotating students into classes just two days a week with the remainder of days at home doing distance learning or sending half the class to school for \"in-person learning\" several days a week while the rest of the class stays home for distance learning. The students would alternate each week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools might also opt to stagger schedules, with AM-PM rotations of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\"]Everything from lining up when the bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought – as will the types of toys students can play with.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines suggest temperature checks and hand sanitizing for students and teachers before they enter school campuses and buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New rules and seating plans will be applied on school buses to keep students 6 feet apart. One option could be to seat one student per bench and skip every other row, the guidelines say. Choosing seats would not be allowed, students should be seated from the rear of the bus forward to prevent walking past each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation of students with special learning needs is one of the hurdles districts are having to tackle without specific information from the state on how many students should be on a standard bus, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solving some of these problems is going to take creativity, said Alameda County Schools Superintendent Karen Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because if you're looking at something like special ed, keeping on masks and six feet apart is not always going to be possible for students who need hands-on support,\" Monroe said. \"Every district is going to consider their staffing and their ability to staff and fund any model that they have. So it has to start with your resources to actually do this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's new guidelines also rule out a number of social activities, such as field trips and school assemblies, and place a variety of restrictions on the act of sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Avoid sharing electronic devices, toys, books and other games,\" the guidelines say as part of recommendations for schools to meet \"high standards of cleanliness.\" Schools are asked to disinfect high-touch surfaces at least daily, such as doorknobs, handrails, drinking fountains, playground equipment, sink handles and bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Public Health on Friday released its own 14-page guidance designed to help districts prepare, with many of the same recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state said it plans to supply every school and child care center with the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>No-touch thermometers\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hand sanitizer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Face shields for every teacher\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cloth face coverings for staff and students\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tight-fitting N-95 masks for health care professionals in schools\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Logistical, Financial Challenges for Districts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Educators say the new safety measures pose massive logistical and financial challenges, particularly at a time of shrinking budgets. Districts are facing the prospect of billions of dollars in budget cuts as the state scrambles to plug a deficit brought on by the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Education Coalition, which includes the nine statewide K-12 public education associations, has urged Newsom and state legislators to reject the cuts. Teachers, superintendents, principals and others say they support the need to implement physical distancing at schools, which would require decreased class sizes and dramatically increased cleaning. But all of that will cost more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='education']Schools have been closed since mid-March, when Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

California's 6.2 million students can expect temperature checks upon entering schools and buses, extensive hand washing throughout the day, physical distancing requirements — in classes, in hallways, at recess, on school buses — and face coverings for students and staff at all times except when eating and drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on everything we know about providing education,\" said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. \"It forces us to enter into a new conversation about the way we provide instruction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, school districts will decide when and how to reopen campuses. Thurmond stressed that the guidelines are not mandatory and can't offer a one-size-fits-all model for the state's 1,000 school districts. But they aim to provide multiple scenarios to help schools find the best approach for safely reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and developed distance-learning plans on the fly. The idea of classes resuming is a relief for both teachers and parents, but raises a host of new questions. Working parents will find it challenging to cope with extended distance learning plans. Teachers say they are wondering how they will keep students 6 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" said Heather Peterson, a kindergarten teacher in Long Beach. Everything from lining up when the school bell rings to classroom seating, recess and lunchtime will have to be rethought. As will the types of toys students can play with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got Legos, and Tinker Toys and we do fun Friday free time, where the kids get to play with a partner. I don't know how that's going to look. Because everything a kid touches will have to be cleaned,\" said Peterson, who wonders how she will monitor what each child touches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson has always tried to instill independence in her students — letting them go to the bathroom without asking, getting up for a pencil if they need it — but she assumes that will need to be curtailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They'll need to be at their designated spot for the day,\" she said, and ask permission to leave their seat to avoid getting too close to others. On the bright side, by the time students return to school, the concept of staying apart won't be new, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not ideal. I think it will be tricky to monitor at school. But when they return in September, at least they'll have a lot of experience with social distancing,\" Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julia McEvoy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For that to happen, two-thirds of the fire survivors who voted on the settlement deal had to approve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 45,000 of the 51,000 fire claimants who voted supported the deal, according to Prime Clerk – the company PG&E hired to manage the process – but approximately 36,000 others either did not vote or had their ballots discarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What remains unclear is how many of those 36,000 fire survivors were impacted by issues with the voting process – a margin large enough to potentially sway the vote's outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Late Ballots for Hundreds of Fire Survivors\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While PG&E maintains that all voting materials were sent out by April 8, more than 200 fire survivors interviewed by KQED said they didn't receive their packets until May. A substantial portion got their packets less than a week before May 15, the deadline they were due to be received by Prime Clerk to be counted. Some got their ballots after that deadline had passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire survivors were supposed to have six weeks to read through the complex materials, a timeframe agreed on by PG&E and several other parties, including the official committee for fire survivors – and approved by U.S. Judge Dennis Montali, who is presiding over PG&E's bankruptcy trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interviews were conducted with a cross-section of fire victims, holding claims of various sizes from various fires, and expressing a range of opinions on the settlement. Claimants had the option to vote by phone, email or by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camp Fire survivor Amy Byrd received her packet on May 18 – three days after the deadline. That left her scrambling to figure out how to make her vote count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did it online and tried to find a way to put in a comment letting them know I had just received the ballot, but they would not let me do that,\" Byrd told KQED in a phone interview. In a recent court filing, Prime Clerk included Byrd's name on a list of about 1,000 votes discarded because they arrived after the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they dropped the ball,\" Byrd said of PG&E, despite her position in support of the settlement deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11822717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/PGE-late-ballots.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Fire survivors Amanda Michaels and Eric Forrester noted the dates they received their voting packets on the PG&E fire settlement from Prime Clerk.

All voting materials were served by first-class mail, but envelopes were not postmarked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can only say we sent out materials,\" Pullo testified. \"I can't speculate as to why they did not receive them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11819900 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/Camp-Fire-Aftermath-1038x576.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pullo also stated that Prime Clerk emailed claimants on April 3.

But the company failed to secure enough of a margin of \"Accept\" votes to decisively dismiss questions about the role that mailing delays may have played in the vote's outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pullo wrote in a court filing Tuesday that the outcome was unlikely to change because only one in six claims received late were from opponents of the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jared Ellias, who teaches bankruptcy law at UC Hastings College of the Law, told KQED he's not sure if the result would change if all survivors had received their voting materials on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The goal of the voting process was to bring everybody in, and it seems like they have fallen a little bit short,\" Ellias said. \"People voting in bankruptcy processes are often sophisticated hedge funds, and I think what we're seeing is that we may need a different paradigm when you have large numbers of disaster or tort victims.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Camp Fire survivor Theresa McDonald wrote the court to register her support for an examiner of voting irregularities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In explaining why it matters to fire victims, she wrote: \"It is a necessary piece of the puzzle I am trying to put together to understand the entire Camp Fire event.

A substantial portion got their packets less than a week before May 15, the deadline they were due to be received by Prime Clerk to be counted. Some got their ballots after that deadline had passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire survivors were supposed to have six weeks to read through the complex materials, a timeframe agreed on by PG&E and several other parties, including the official committee for fire survivors – and approved by U.S. Judge Dennis Montali, who is presiding over PG&E's bankruptcy trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interviews were conducted with a cross-section of fire victims, holding claims of various sizes from various fires, and expressing a range of opinions on the settlement. Claimants had the option to vote by phone, email or by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camp Fire survivor Amy Byrd received her packet on May 18 – three days after the deadline. That left her scrambling to figure out how to make her vote count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did it online and tried to find a way to put in a comment letting them know I had just received the ballot, but they would not let me do that,\" Byrd told KQED in a phone interview. In a recent court filing, Prime Clerk included Byrd's name on a list of about 1,000 votes discarded because they arrived after the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they dropped the ball,\" Byrd said of PG&E, despite her position in support of the settlement deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11822717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/PGE-late-ballots.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Fire survivors Amanda Michaels and Eric Forrester noted the dates they received their voting packets on the PG&E fire settlement from Prime Clerk.

And I know there's a lot of focus on some of the looting and the property damage – and of course, that's unacceptable. I think it's easy to condemn that as unacceptable. I think it's much harder to condemn structures in our society that we've seen even before the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As someone who's African American, who grew up in poverty himself — who's actually closer in age to most protesters than many officials — I'm sure you completely understand the pain and anger of many who took to the streets. But how do you explain that to people who just don't get it in this country? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honestly, at this point, I think people are willfully ignorant. If you see a man who is murdered by a police officer, who put his knee on this man's neck, and it doesn't make you upset or angry — you've lost some humanity or you don't see the person who was murdered as human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a young black man with a black wife and a black son. I have a black father who's been in jail for the last 27 years. It's definitely personal. But I know, when I see images of kids in cages, when I see images of people in Appalachia who can't eat, all those things affect me and make me upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people who don't understand, I think part of it is reckoning with the fact that this system — the institutions that worked fine for you and your family — it doesn't work and it hasn't, historically, worked for a lot of people. And that's what people are upset about. And that's what people want to see changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As mayor, what do you think cities and civic institutions — which are already struggling with the pandemic — have to do next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think every elected official has to come up with a set of proposals. And policies aren't going stop everything. But that, at least, speaks to the very real pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that we all start to speak very clearly about what's evil in our society. What's evil is white supremacy. What's evil is the president saying 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts.' What's evil is how routinely folks face — based on where they happen to be born and who they happen to be born to — diminished life chances and terrible life outcomes in some cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not easy, but I think it's necessary. I think, in this moment, it's time for leaders to lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='george-floyd']And also for community members: those who are protesting, those who are not. I think the folks who write racist messages on Nextdoor, for example, have a role to play. I think people who clutch their purses when they see young black men walking in hoodies on their streets have a role to play. I think each and every one of us have to examine what role do we play, what role do we want to play? And, again, just creating a society we deserve. And a society where there's true liberty and justice for all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I assume your child's future is at the forefront of your thinking when you say these things.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>100%. I look at him — he's sweet, he's brilliant, he's kind, he's loving, he's smart. And he deserves a world where he's able to walk around the street or jog in his neighborhood ... he just deserves every opportunity that every other kid gets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's heartbreaking to think that — unless we make some drastic changes in how we think and interact with each other in this country — 15, 16 years from now, this beautiful, sweet, kind boy will be looked at as a thug, a danger or as a threat. Just because he was born to black parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am very hopeful. We have the opportunity to really create the country that we deserve. It won't be easy, but we can do it. And I think enough people are fed up with the way things have been to get closer to that goal. I'm excited to be a partner in that work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And I know there's a lot of focus on some of the looting and the property damage – and of course, that's unacceptable. I think it's easy to condemn that as unacceptable.

But how do you explain that to people who just don't get it in this country? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honestly, at this point, I think people are willfully ignorant. If you see a man who is murdered by a police officer, who put his knee on this man's neck, and it doesn't make you upset or angry — you've lost some humanity or you don't see the person who was murdered as human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a young black man with a black wife and a black son. I have a black father who's been in jail for the last 27 years. It's definitely personal.

And that's what people are upset about. And that's what people want to see changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Protesters marched from Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza outside City Hall north on Broadway, then doubled back to the Police Department Headquarters. They chanted, \"Say his name!

In April, Aleman’s aunt tested positive for COVID-19. Shortly after, her 13-year-old daughter, Lindsay, also had it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How am I going to distance her?” asked Aleman, who shares a bed with Lindsay and her youngest, Megan, who is 3 years old. “You can’t do it.

That provision is seen as a way for tribes to sue card rooms for offering games that resemble blackjack, which is currently not allowed in card rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional amendment released Thursday seeks to strike a compromise: It would allow tribal casinos to offer craps and roulette, while also clarifying the ability of card rooms to continue to offer games they are allowed to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Card rooms, including Bay 101 Casino in San Jose, have signed onto Dodd’s proposal – but it’s unlikely the plan will have support from the state’s largest tribes, at least initially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodd said the disagreements between card rooms and casinos over gaming rules will the biggest hurdle to getting his proposal through the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like trying to solve Middle East peace, to bring peace between the card rooms and the tribes,” Dodd said. “We’re giving it our best shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
