Concerned about potential learning loss with coronavirus-related campuses closures, Gov. Newsom and state officials consider starting the next school year early if it can be done safely.
The academic year could start in late July or early August to address learning losses brought on by coronavirus-forced school closures affecting about 6.1 million California students, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday.
“Clearly, for now, we still have more questions than answers. But now is the time for us to problem-solve and plan for the future," Thurmond said. Story continuesThe magnitude of learning loss because of coronavirus school closures is unclear, researchers said. A brief this month applied summer learning loss research to the current pandemic. In one scenario, the report found that students could experience a"COVID-19 slowdown," in which they would not see gains or losses in reading and math from mid-March until the fall.
Some local officials said they were not expecting Newsom's remarks and were caught off-guard. An early start, they said, could be complicated logistically, financially and academically — especially with expected budget cuts and concerns about equity among low-income students and those with disabilities.
"Our 75,000-plus employees serve the needs of almost 700,000 students who live with another couple of million people," L.A. Unified Supt. Austin Beutner said Monday."Will testing be available for all of these individuals and who will pay for it? That's the sort of challenge which lies ahead."
