Wilk, Other State Lawmakers Approve California School Re-Opening Deal
State Senator Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, voted in favor of passing Assembly Bill 86 (AB 86) at a California Senate Budget Meeting on Thursday, which once signed into law would provide incentives to schools reopening.
While Wilk voted in favor of AB 86, he noted that he felt that the fact that such a bill was needed at all when Governor Gavin Newsom could have issued an executive order allowing schools to open. “I believe with or without this bill, school districts that want to re-open will, and school districts that don’t want to re-open, won’t,” Wilk said. “So if this is not a school re-opening bill, what is it? I believe it’s a CYA maneuver by Governor Newsom to get parents to believe he’s doing everything he can for them.”

Santa Clarita Valley educators were next in line to receive their COVID-19 vaccine shots at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Monday, more than two months after the hospital received its first batch of vaccines for hospital frontline workers.
The hospital officially launched its vaccine clinic for local educators as it wraps up the inoculation of healthcare workers, according to Henry Mayo spokesman Patrick Moody.
On Friday, Los Angeles County Public Health officials announced that starting Monday, three additional sectors can now get vaccinated: education and childcare workers, food and agriculture workers, and emergency services and law enforcement workers.
At this time, Henry Mayo will only vaccinate those in the education sector across Santa Clarita Valley-based school districts, including private schools, according to Dr. Bud Lawrence, medical director of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s Emergency Department.

The fact that these communities are generally more affluent than the areas that suffered the most is hardly a coincidence. Most people who have avoided the coronavirus’ wrath have jobs that allow them to work from home. They aren’t living in overcrowded apartments with multiple generations of family members. They have easy access to outdoor space, where the virus’ strength is diminished.
