The governor’s proposal aimed to incentivize school districts to reopen their campuses by paying out grants of $450 to $700 per student to schools that developed safety plans for in-person instruction by Monday and opened doors to the state’s youngest students by Feb. 16.
State government officials, schools and teachers unions still cannot agree on a framework to reopen California’s public schools. Time to get kids back in classrooms this school year is running out. Story from @CalMatters.

The recommendation was driven by increasing evidence that there are lower risks and increased benefits from in-person instruction, particularly for the youngest students, Newsom said. The plan comes amid increased pressure on schools to reopen campuses based on those rationales.
