But not every family is ready to transition to in-person learning.

Find out what options you have for your student’s wellbeing and academic success.

Caregivers have hard choices to make about their children’s schooling throughout this school year. We’re hoping this resource @NCYLnews created with @ACLU_SoCal and 9 other CA orgs can help #distancelearning #CAschools

[Ted Lempert @tedlempert]

.@CAGovernor @GavinNewsom has been championing key supports for kids and is passionate about #earlychildhood, but it’s critical that this state budget includes significant increases for early childhood and supports for #childcare workers #ProKidCA

[Children Now @ChildrenNow]

“It’s mind boggling that what should be a top priority issue in the budget is apparently something the governor is not supporting.” @TedLempert #ChildCare4CA #RaiseTheRates https://t.co/XTaqbv8mDH

[ACLU California Action @ACLU_CalAction]

Gov. @GavinNewsom and CA lawmakers must invest in improved virtual learning options in the #CABudget.

The pandemic isn't over for everyone. While in-person learning is essential, families shouldn't have to choose between their health & safety and a high-quality education.

[EdSource @EdSource]

“Pandemic recovery isn’t happening in a uniform way. There’s a much larger impact on low-income communities, and we want to make sure they have high-quality distance learning opportunities if they need it,” said @VictorACLU/@ACLU_SoCal. #caedu #edchat

[Teach Plus CA @TeachPlusCA]

.@GavinNewsom has one more day to sign #AB1835, ensuring that resources for CA's high need students reach them. The state legislature and nearly 700 groups support this bill. It is now up to you, @CAgovernor. Sign #AB1835 & fulfill the promise of LCFF.

[Samantha Tran @samdtran]

Thanks for capturing the blow by blow on #AB1835 @jfenster Such a critical bill for the Governor to sign, especially given the impact of school closures on high need kids! #LCFF #Equity https://t.co/YuYfZ9JMBY

[xilonin @xilonin]

Two great appointees! Great choices, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom. @brooksmallen and Debra Brown will both do a great job!

[Children Now @ChildrenNow]

Thank you to the 670+ Pro-Kid organizations who supported equity in schools by signing on to a letter to ensure that targeted education funding for students from low-income households, English Learners and foster youth is actually directed to support them. (1/2)

[Alliance for a Better Community @afabc_la]

ABC joined 670+ organizations in urging @GavinNewsom to ensure that targeted education funding for our most vulnerable students-including low-income households, English Learners & foster youth-is actually directed to support them. #AB1835 https://t.co/kiovcPdhSH #ProKidCA

[John Garcia III, Ed.L.D. @JohnGarciaIII]

It’s going to be hard to justify not supporting this if you say that you’re for #equity, even in the midst of a pandemic. #AB1835
