School board to hear virus update, discuss reopening Support Local Journalism On Thursday evening, Jan. 7, the Davis school board will assess the status of the coronavirus pandemic in Yolo County, after hearing an update from Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson. The school board trustees will hear a presentation by school district staff describing several different scenarios for the eventual return of students and teachers to school classroom, and consider an appropriate timeline for the resumption of classroom learning. In addition, the trustees are likely to discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recently announced “Safe Schools for All” initiative — a proposed $2 billion program that would offer local districts a number of financial incentives to reopen elementary schools to students and teachers during the early months of 2021. (The fine details of the governor’s proposal, which was announced at a press conference on Wednesday, Dec. 30, are not entirely clear yet).
