By deciding to sue its own school board and district, San Francisco has opened up a new front on the battleground to open schools for in-person instruction.
The city filed suit in the San Francisco Superior Court Wednesday for what City Attorney Dennis Herrera alleges are violations of a state law requiring districts to adopt a clear plan during the pandemic “to offer classroom-based instruction whenever possible,” as first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle,
The operative term here is “whenever possible.” Teachers’ representatives, along with many parents, believe that reopening campuses is not possible because of multiple safety concerns.

As the world broke through the astounding milestone of 100 million known Covid-19 cases, the Global Wellness Institute released its trends report for 2021. Chief among its messages: wellness has gone from being a ‘nice to have’ to a ‘must-have’ – for all.
The Florida, US-based non-governmental organisation defines wellness as the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.
The US$4.5 trillion (S$5.9 billion) global market encompasses all things wellness – anti-ageing, physical fitness, mental health, healthy eating, weight loss, health care, complementary and alternative medicine, medical tourism, and so much more.
The GWI trends forecast is based on the insights of wellness company executives, economists, doctors, investors, academics and technologists who gathered in person and virtually at its summit in Florida in November.
