B
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody
today
we
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
with
more
detail
and
specificity
about
the
issue
of
schools,
the
reopening
of
our
schools.
I
come
at
this,
not
academically
not
as
governor,
but
as
a
parent
for
young
children
different
ages,
different
cohorts,
different
situations,
one
respect,
different
schools,
we're
having
conversations
that
I
know
millions
of
americans,
millions
of
californians
in
particular,
are
having
these
conversations
are
trying.
These
conversations
can
at
times
be
confusing.
B
This
is
a
challenging
moment
for
all
of
us,
particularly
parents,
and
particularly
those
that
are
responsible
for
over
6
million
of
our
kids
in
our
public
education
system.
So
I
want
to
talk
about
where
we
are.
What
our
progress
to
date
looks
like
lessons.
We
learned
from
the
spring
session
recognition
that
good
enough.
B
Never
is
that
everything
we're
putting
out
here
today
we
recognize
requires
even
more
work,
more
focus,
more
energy
and
more
effort,
and
so
I
want
to
just
begin
with
that,
as
a
preamble
of
deep
recognition
of
the
anxiety,
deep
recognition
of
the
role
that
we
all
play
on
making
this
school
year
modified
as
it
will
be
as
successful
as
we
possibly
can-
and
I
also
am
very
mindful
that
every
single
child
is
unique.
Every
single
child
is
special.
B
Every
single
child
has
a
unique
expression,
and
that
means
that
no
two
of
us
learn
the
same
and
as
a
consequence,
this
conversation
we'll
have
here
today.
A
conversation
where
we're
gonna
invite
in
a
number
of
educational
leaders
to
participate
in
this
conversation
means
something
differently
for
each
and
every
person
watching,
and
I'm
very
very
cognizant
of
that,
and
I
recognize
that
our
role,
our
responsibility
is,
do
everything
we
can
to
tailor
and
individualize
to
the
unique
needs
of
families
and
individuals
that
we're
here
to
serve.
B
But
let
me
begin
with
a
predicate.
Not
just
a
preamble-
and
that
is
safety-
is
the
foundational
first
approach
that
we
look
at
the
lens
to
which
we
advance
all
of
our
decision
making
safety
for
our
students
and
safety
for
those
responsible
for
educating
and
supporting
our
students.
Clearly,
our
teachers,
but
also
we
cannot
forget
our
bus
drivers.
We
can't
forget
our
janitors.
B
We
can't
forget
all
of
the
incredible
support
staff
that
we
also
are
entrusted
to
support
and
protect
to
keep
healthy
one
of
the
things
we
did
a
couple
of
months
back
in
recognition
that
we
needed
to
have
time
to
prepare
in
terms
of
focusing
on
preparing
the
physical
environment.
Because,
again
our
commitment,
our
default
long
term,
is
in
person
instruction.
The
social
emotional
benefits
of
in-person
instruction
are
self-evident.
B
They
need
to
develop
relationships,
develop
connections
to
be
inspired
by
a
teacher
or
a
magical
moment
that
changes
trajectory
of
one's
life.
It
is
sub-optimal
to
have
that
experience
virtually.
That
is
something
I
believe
overwhelmingly
is
accepted
and
recognized.
So
we
are
in
a
sub-optimal
environment,
but
with
expectation
and
anticipation
that
we
will
go
back
to
the
environment
that
we
are
more
familiar
with.
B
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
schools
had
the
chance
to
be
prepared
in
that
respect.
To
have
the
procurement
of
ppe
face
shields
face
covers
thermometers,
hand,
sanitizers
and
the
like,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
you
that
the
state
itself,
in
anticipation
of
reopening
our
schools
to
in-person
instruction,
has
provided
already
millions
and
millions
of
masks
and
face
shield
tens
of
thousands
of
thermometers
and
million
and
a
half
gallons
of
hand.
Sanitizer.
B
I
recognize
that's
not
enough
and
I'll
talk
in
a
moment
of
what
we
were
successfully
able
to
do
with
the
budget,
to
provide
an
unprecedented
amount
of
resources
to
supplement
what
the
state
has
already
provided.
But
this
is
important
because
I
want
folks
to
know
the
state's
commitment
to
provided
no
cost
to
the
districts.
B
These
supplies,
in
anticipation
of
being
able
to
move
in
the
direction
all
of
us
want
to
move.
That
said,
we're
anticipating,
based
upon
the
current
analysis
and
we'll
be
coming
out
monday,
with
more
detailed
information,
as
it
relates
to
county
by
county
watch
list,
which
is
foundational,
we'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
few
moments
as
well.
But
we
estimate
at
this
moment
at
least
over
90
percent
of
our
students,
and
you
can
argue
it's
closer
to
95.
B
97
of
our
students
are
likely
to
start
the
school
year
with
distance
learning
and
that's
what
we're
preparing
for
that's.
What
we're
disproportionately
focused
on
that
school
year
has
already
begun
for
many
yesterday
today,
next
week,
large
cohort
a
week
after
so
school
year
is
upon
us,
and
we
are
now
just
beginning
this
journey
together
on
a
more
robust
approach
to
distance
learning
in
this
state.
We
made
this
point
that
schools
may
be
closed.
I've
made
this
point
in
the
past,
but
class
is
still
in
session
that
we
are
committed.
B
But
I
want
you
to
know
that
is
top
of
mind
and
we're
very
cognizant
of
our
responsibility
and
those
challenges.
Accordingly,
we've
been
guided
over
the
course
of
the
last
many
months
by
a
lot
of
outreach.
I
want
to
thank
and
he'll
be
on
phone.
In
a
moment:
superintendent
of
public
education,
the
work
cde
california,
department
of
education
has
done
in
terms
of
their
outreach,
formal,
informal
surveys
that
they
put
out
surveys
that
the
state
has
put
out
other
organizations.
B
Non-Profits
ngos
have
put
out
really
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
where
school
districts
are
where
parents
are
and
where
our
workforce
believes.
We
need
to
go
as
it
relates
to
supporting
our
efforts
on
distance
learning.
You'll
just
see
three
specific
surveys
on
this
slide
that
represent
different
times
and
different
questions
related
to
our
preparedness.
You'll,
see
that
first
comment,
or
rather
first
stat
of
96.1
percent
of
school
districts,
that
reported
they
were
at
least
starting
to
provide
technology
for
students
for
distance
learning.
This
was
at
the
end.
B
This
specifically
was
a
survey
from
may
15
to
the
end
of
the
school
year,
where
we
were
all
rushing
to
provide
for
distance
learning,
but
you
can
see
the
vast
majority
overwhelming
majority
of
districts
we're
moving
in
that
direction,
and
we
want
to
carry
that
momentum
and
all
of
the
challenges
related
to
closing
of
that
school
year
and
spring
session.
The
lessons
learned
I
want
to
carry
some
of
that
momentum
into
the
fall
session.
91
of
parents
in
another
survey.
B
This
was
done
in
late
july,
say
that
they
have
the
technology
needed
for
distance
learning.
Now
I
I
recognize
you
get
under
those
numbers.
What
does
that
mean
one
one
laptop
for
four
members
of
the
family?
That's
not
adequate
download
speeds
that
may
not
be
top
of
class.
All
of
those
things
are
self-evident
in
terms
of
our
concerns,
but
you
get
a
sense
of
where
parents
at
least
felt
they
were
as
it
relates
to
just
basic
technology
needs
for
distance
learning.
B
But
when
you
get
to
the
issue
of
confidence,
when
you
get
to
an
issue
of
more
nuance,
you
can
see
a
smaller
number
of
people.
Districts,
students
and
families
feel
that
they
have
ultimately
the
kind
of
capacity
understanding
ability
to
utilize
this
technology
in
a
meaningful
and
more
robust
manner,
and
so
we
talk
in
terms
of
bridging
the
digital
divide.
It's
not
just
about
wi-fi
hotspots
and
not
just
about
what
you
plug
those
virtual
hotspots
into
it's
also
about
something
much
richer,
much
deeper.
B
That
said,
we
put
out
new
requirements,
not
every
state
did
this.
In
fact,
I
would
argue.
The
vast
majority
based
upon
our
analysis
of
states
have
not
done
this,
but
california
did
we
put
out
expectations,
guide
rails
with
real
money
and
I'll
get
to
the
money
in
a
moment
with
our
expectations
for
our
statewide
requirements,
as
it
relates
to
what
distance
learning
would
look
like
the
reason
we
were
able
to
do
that
is
we
had
enlightened
leadership
in
the
legislature
that
was
committed
to
that
cause.
B
Obviously,
the
great
support,
the
superintendent
of
public
education
and
linda
darling,
hammond
at
that
school
board.
Here
you'll
hear
from
in
a
moment
as
well,
but
we
were
able
to
have
clarity
in
terms
of
our
conviction
that
we
believe
that
distance
learning
was
likely
to
happen
based
upon
community
spread
of
covet
19
in
the
background
rates,
and
so
we
had
time
to
really
be
deliberative
time
to
work
with
the
legislature
on
protocols
processes
on
budget
language,
to
really
condition
requirements
with
funding.
B
We
just
don't
want
people
to
take
their
lectures
and
just
videotape
them
and
then
provide
them
online.
By
the
way
you
can
just
go
to
youtube
and
pretty
much
get
that
in
every
subject
matter.
That's
ever
been
debated
since
the
beginning
of
mankind.
This
has
to
be
a
much
more
interactive
process
where
we
want
to
bring
our
students
into
the
screen
truly
engaged
peer-to-peer,
not
just
with
the
interaction
of
a
teacher,
and
so
we
want
a
more
dynamic
engagement
to
the
extent
possible
through
distance
learning.
B
We
want
as
much
individualized
learning,
particularly
for
students
of
special
needs,
which
is
foundational
as
much
as
we
can
and
that's
an
area
of
obvious
concern,
and
I'm
talk
about
more
of
that.
In
a
moment,
we
want
challenging
assignments.
We
don't
want
just
people
to
dial
this
in
and
we
want
to
recognize
the
diversity
of
the
state
children
as
well
as
parents
that
are
not
necessarily
as
proficient
in
english,
so
esl,
learners,
english,
second
language,
learners
and
obviously
meeting
the
needs
of
those
with
special
challenges.
B
That
said,
we
have
provided
to
date
the
access
to
at
least
devices
and
hot
spots.
I
I've
talked
on
multiple
occasions
in
the
past.
I
want
to
thank
tony
thurman
and
his
digital
divide
task
force
that
he
put
together
linda
darlingham,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
wife
first
partner
jennifer
for
her
outstanding
work.
Making
phone
calls
trust
me.
I
was
standing
next
to
her
in
many
cases
emails
on
sunday
morning
trying
to
get
philanthropy
and
individuals
as
well
as
companies
to
provide
devices
and
wi-fi
hotspots.
B
B
The
issue,
though,
of
digital
divide,
can't
not
be
just
distilled
in
simple
numbers
of
devices
and
wi-fi
hotspots.
We
really
need
to
provide
an
abundance
of
resource.
I
don't
know.
Abundance
means
something
to
some
people,
others
say
well,
it's
a
scarcity
of
resource,
but
I
I
will
say
I'm
proud.
This
state
took
a
lot
of
the
cares,
act,
funding
a
lot
of
the
federal
dollars
for
this
pandemic.
B
In
anticipation,
we
may
need
to
bring
those
lessons
and
closing
that
divide
into
the
fall
session:
5.3
billion
dollars
real
discretion,
real
capacity
to
procure
more
ppe
to
provide
more
deep
sanitation
to
supplement,
supports
to
individualize
learning
to
the
extent
possible
speech
therapy
and
other
supports
for
those
with
special
needs
and,
of
course,
to
provide
more
wi-fi
hot
spots
to
provide
more
direct
supports,
fiber
to
the
extent
possible
and
preferable
to
provide
obviously
more
chromebooks
and
the
like.
100
percent
of
the
eligible
schools
in
california
have
not
only
been
made
aware
of
those
resources.
B
B
Covid19.Ca.Gov
go
to
the
site
and
you
can
learn
to
see
exactly
what
your
school
district,
what
their
allocation
was
of
that
5.3
billion
dollars.
You
can
see
here
on
this
slide.
450
million
dollars
went
to
l.I
unified
school
district
fresno
receiving
about
87
million
elk
grove
44
million.
These
are
just
examples
of
the
money
being
distributed
available,
ready
with
flexibility
focused
on
the
issue
of
learning
loss.
B
B
Equity
is
the
word
that
we
are
focused
on
and
fully
resolved
and
committed
to
advancing
when
you
look
at
the
distribution
of
funds,
if
you
allocate
them
equally
you're,
not
allocating
them
equitably,
and
as
a
consequence
of
that,
we
had
a
very
robust
debate
with
the
legislature
on
how
we
thought
best
to
utilize
the
care
x,
funds
81
of
those
funds
we
landed
on
that
number.
We
wanted
to
prioritize
for
this
cohort
of
individuals,
low-income
students,
students
with
disabilities,
foster
youth
homeless
students
and
those
english
language
learners.
B
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
we
did
with
the
legislature
with
the
superintendent
of
public
education,
linda,
darling,
hammond's,
outstanding
work
to
guide
us
in
this
direction
and,
as
has
been
said
many
times
publicly,
privately
brentwood
is
very
different
than
inglewood
and,
as
a
consequence,
the
needs
are
greater
in
inglewood.
B
As
consequence
of
that,
we
want
to
provide
additional
flexibility
of
resource
to
address
those
needs
to
do
what
we
can
to
address
these
disparities
and
gaps
that
predate
covid,
but
have
now
been
exposed
at
a
different
scale
since
this
pandemic,
and
so
that's
the
framework
of
focus
equity,
lens,
robust
funding
to
address
learning
loss,
despite
other
budgetary
concerns,
the
flexibility
that
is
needed
for
districts
recognizing
localism,
ultimately,
is
the
clarion
call,
as
it
relates
to
education
in
the
state.
It's
enshrined
in
the
state
constitution,
local
control
over
a
thousand
school
districts
in
this
state.
B
B
As
a
state,
through
his
leadership,
it
has
been
demonstrable
throughout
this
pandemic.
Tony
thurman
has
been
not
only
an
advocate
in
his
role
as
superintendent
of
public
instruction
in
the
state
of
california,
but
he's
incredible
partner
to
the
state
and
state
agencies
in
his
ability
to
convene
people
his
ability
to
work
with
local
districts
and
do
the
work
that
his
task
force
has
done,
including
key
legislative
leaders.
B
I
want
to
thank
them
as
well,
for
their
support
and
participation
has
helped
us
not
only
procure
and
identify
the
capacity
in
terms
of
philanthropy
and
more
devices
and
wi-fi
hotspots,
but
to
do
something
else,
and
he
can-
I
hope,
talked
to
this,
but
he
please
tony
tuck
he's
on
the
phone
about
more
broadly
your
feelings
about
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
together.
But
I
I
did
want
to
just
acknowledge
your
work,
and
I
pointed
this
out
tony.
B
You
may
not
be
able
to
see
this
on
a
slide.
The
work
you
did
with
apple
t-mobile
office
depot
we
put
out
staples.
They
all
deserve
credit
edison
that
have
set
aside
hundreds
of
thousands
of
devices
for
california
schools.
That
may
not
seem
that
interesting
or
even
impressive,
but
there's
a
global
demand
for
supplies
for
chromebooks
and
for
equipment
for
education.
B
It's
a
perfect
example
of
of
something
that
may
not
gotten
a
lot
of
attention,
but
was
a
lot
of
work
and,
and
he
led
that
effort
as
well
as
making
a
point
that
we're
we
followed
up
on
it's
this
last
point
on
this
bullet
and
tony
I'll
turn
over
to
you
right
after
this,
and
that
is
to
see
if
we
can
leverage
our
purchasing
power
outside
of
just
the
school
districts
working
with
cde
california
apartment
education,
but
how
about
the
state
coming
in
with
all
our
purchasing
power
and
doing
a
device
state
negotiated
master
contract?
B
C
C
You
know
it
is
just
that
it
is
a
pandemic
of
worldwide
proportion
and
its
impacts
on
california
and
our
nation
are
just
significant,
but
I
am
grateful
that
we
live
in
a
state
that
is
led
by
governor
and
a
legislature
that
have
made
5.3
billion
dollars
available
to
support
the
needs
of
distance
learning.
Let's
face
it,
97
of
our
schools,
or
so
are
in
distance
learning,
at
least
to
start
as
a
way
of
being
safe.
C
Until
we
know
if
the
conditions
will
change
to
allow
what
we
know
all
of
our
students
need
in
person
instruction,
but
until
we
get
there,
we
open
in
distance
learning.
We
we
promote.
We,
you
know
approach
this
with
safety.
It
is
so
important
to
have
those
resources
that
5.3
billion
dollars
is
just
incredible.
Thank
you,
mr
governor.
Thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
legislature.
C
You
know,
like
the
governor,
said,
we
approach
this
in
our
work,
but
we
also
approach
this
as
parents,
and
I
want
to
you
know,
I'm
also
a
parent
of
california
students.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
first
how
difficult
this
is
right
now
and
in
spite
of
how
difficult
it
is,
everyone
is
leaning
in
I
mentioned
our
governor
and
legislative
partners.
I
want
to
acknowledge
students
and
parents,
teachers,
principals
and
superintendents.
C
Everyone
is
just
leaning
in
to
figure
out
how
to
make
this
happen.
You
know
one
thing
that
I've
noted
is
that
for
every
piece
of
guidance
that
any
of
us
puts
out,
the
pandemic
is
constantly
changing
and
we've
all
had
to
be
constantly
changing.
You
know
the
governor.
Does
these
press
conferences
on
a
regular
is
always
giving
new
updates?
We've
tried
to
provide
updates
to
the
field
on
a
regular
basis,
but
our
parents
and
students
and
educators
are
constantly
adapting.
You
know
the
beginning
of
school
is
always
a
time.
C
That's
both
exciting
and
filled
with
anxiety.
I
would
say
that
that's
mounted
to
a
higher
level
now,
because
so
much
has
gone
into
preparation
for
months.
We've
all
been
providing
guidance,
but
the
pandemic
changes.
So
then
we
have
to
change
the
guidance,
so
things
are
just
moving.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
difficult
environment
to
work
in,
but
I
want
to
applaud
the
resolve
and
resilience
of
everyone:
students,
parents,
educators,
administrators,
all
leaning
in
together.
Our
county
superintendents
are
so
important
to
this
process.
C
They
convene
regular
meetings
of
all
of
our
1
000
school
districts.
You
know
it
has
taken
just
that
entire
partnership
to
get
where
we
are
and
where
are
we?
Schools
have
opened
in
some
districts
and
many
are
poised
to
open
in
just
a
few
days.
In
many
cases
the
resources
are
there
and
in
some
cases,
we're
still
scrambling
to
get
resources
together,
but
we're
all
leaning
in
because
we
recognize
that
we
can
do
more
together
on
the
issue
of
devices.
C
We've
worked
with
apple
and
t-mobile
to
connect
them
directly
to
districts
that
are
still
looking
for
devices
that
for
those
districts,
we
want
to
remind
you
that
you
can
use
your
learning
loss
mitigation
funds
to
purchase
those
computing
devices
at
a
discounted
rate.
These
devices
are
internet
connected
and
they
also
can
work
across
all
platforms,
regardless
of
whatever
platform
the
district
uses.
As
the
governor
has
pointed
out,
there
is
a
a
run
on
supply
worldwide.
There
just
aren't
enough
computing
devices,
but
apple
and
t-mobile
have
prioritized
devices
staples
and
office.
C
People
have
prioritized
the
devices
for
our
schools.
Our
team
very
nicely
in
our
office
has
really
worked
with
our
districts
and
our
school
associations
to
identify
where
the
need
is.
A
number
of
companies
have
come
forward.
I
want
to
acknowledge
pg
e
who's,
making
a
contribution
to
support
some
school
districts
that
are
in
areas
that
have
been
underserved
and
need
computing
devices
will
have
more
information
to
announce
there.
C
We
know
that
there's
been
a
digital
divide,
but
our
effort
is
to
provide
technology
during
the
pandemic
and
to
use
the
digital
divide
task
force
to
once
and
for
all
close.
The
digital
divide,
we're
focused
on
the
short-term
needs,
but
also
keeping
our
eyes
on
the
long-term
needs
that
we
know
that
we
have
communities
in
residential
and
rural
communities
that
do
not
have
access
to
broadband.
They
don't
have
the
infrastructure,
and
I
know
that
there
are
proposals
in
the
legislature
to
do
so.
As
the
governor
says,
we
need
federal
support
to
support
building
that
infrastructure.
C
We
need
resources
for
our
schools,
and
so
that's
where
we
all
are
we're,
leaning
in
and
and
I
like
to
say
that
we
should
just
focus
on
the
the
three
buckets
that
I
think
are
probably
the
most
important.
In
my
estimation,
one
is
safety.
I
appreciate
that
the
department
of
public
health
and
the
governor
have
given
us
a
metric
for
when
school
should
be
closed.
C
That
metric
is
really
clear
if
you're
on
the
watch
list-
and
you
haven't
been
off
for
14
days-
that's
a
really
clear
metric
and,
I
think
that's
important.
I
know
there's
still
lots
of
questions
about.
You
know
how
guidance
is
going
to
work
for
any
waivers
and
things
of
that
nature
and
I
think,
we're
all
as
a
field
trying
to
work
through
those
questions.
But
that's
a
really
clear
metric
that
I
like
to
point
to
safety
has
to
be
our
first
priority.
C
I
think,
as
we
think
about
safety,
we
also
have
to
think
about
the
social,
emotional
learning
needs
of
our
students
and
that
distance
learning
mitigation
fund
that
government
talks
about
allows
schools
to
get
counseling
resources.
We've
been
working
with
school
districts
to
maximize
medi-cal
dollars
and-
and
you
know,
I've
created
a
counseling
coalition
to
help
address
the
needs
of
our
students.
That's
got
to
be
our
top
priority.
C
You're
going
to
hear
us
talk
a
lot
in
the
days
and
weeks
about
helping
districts,
improve
their
family
engagement,
work
and
providing
more
professional
development
for
educators
on
how
to
do
distance
learning
at
a
high
level.
Department
of
education
is
going
to
be
putting
out
more
guidance.
We
work
closely
with
the
state
board,
with
cta,
with
a
number
of
educator
groups
with
school
districts
to
get
input
on
what
that
guidance
might
look
like,
because
we
know
that
live
instruction
is
important.
C
We're
not
saying
that
kids
need
to
be
on
computers
all
day,
but
we
know
that
students
do
better
when
they
see
their
teachers
or
their
one-to-one
aides
in
a
live.
You
know
a
live
instruction
format,
that's
important
to
their
social,
emotional
well-being.
We
want
that
to
be
balanced.
We
know
that
educators
are
worried
about
the
circumstances
that
they're
headed
into,
and
we
want
to
be
cautious,
again,
safety,
social,
emotional
learning,
and
then
we
just
have
to
continue
to
talk
about
learning.
C
These
circumstances
are
not
ideal
that
students
are
returning
to
school
in,
but
students
continue
to
learn
even
under
these
conditions,
and
we've
got
to
make
that
a
priority
and
to
make
sure
that
we
offset
any
learning
gaps
that
may
have
resulted
when
we
first
moved
into
distance
learning.
We
know
that
there
were
bumps,
but
I'm
grateful
that
when
we
moved
into
distance
learning,
people
put
safety
first
and
there
was
no
playbook
to
do
this.
C
These
are
clearly
uncharted.
You
know
waters.
These
are
times
where
we
don't
know
all
of
the
answers,
but
there
are
some
things
that
we
know
the
governor
says
it
all
the
time
wear
a
face
covering,
and
that
will
help
to
keep
us
safe
and
flatten
the
curve.
We
can't
control
what
coronavirus
does,
but
we
can
control
how
we
respond
to
it.
We
wear
face
covering
we
wash
our
hands.
We
maintain
physical
distance.
We
give
ourselves
a
fighting
chance
to
reduce
and
prevent
infection
across
our
communities
and
certainly
in
our
schools.
C
You
know
we
want
every
school
to
have
a
hotline
where
parents
can
call
they
need
help,
don't
ask
them
the
email.
We
want
them
to
have
a
hotline
that
they
can
call
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
school
districts,
to
talk
to
them
about
how
we
create
these
kinds
of
family,
supportive
family
engagement
models.
These
are
tough
times,
but
as
it
relates
to
providing
an
education
to
our
students,
we've
got
to
rise
to
that
challenge.
We
can
do
more
together
for
our
six
million
students.
I'm
grateful
for
you
governor.
C
B
Tremendous
thank
you,
mr
superintendent,
and
thank
you
for
the
spirit
that
brought
you
today
to
join
us,
but
more
over
all
the
outstanding
work
you've
done.
I
think
what
I
hope
everybody
just
heard.
Besides
all
the
specifics
and
the
good
work
the
superintendent
has
been
advancing,
is
a
spirit
of
collaboration,
a
spirit
of
cooperation
that
doesn't
exist
in
every
state.
Many
states
it
does.
B
But
it's
a
wonderful
thing
when
you
have
a
superintendent
and
governor
and
legislative
leaders,
advocacy
of
all
stripes
working
with
the
same
goal
in
mind
and
and
the
superintendent
was
very
honest
and
forthright
none
of
us
are
naive
of
you
know
the
challenges
that
we
experienced
closing
out
the
school
session
last
year.
B
The
challenges
that
we
face
with
this
ever-evolving
pandemic
and
the
challenges
of
meeting
the
needs
of
the
largest
school
system
in
the
united
states
of
america,
and
so
we're
open
argument,
we're
interested
in
evidence
we're
not
ideological
about
our
approach
or
this
endeavor,
and
we
recognize
the
humility
that
needs
to
be
behind
all
of
these
efforts.
Some
we'll
do
is
design
an
intended.
B
Others
will
have
unintended
consequences
that
we
need
to
own
up
to
and
address
in
real
time,
but
we're
condensing
decades
of
conversations
in
just
a
few
months,
and
in
that
spirit,
and
in
that
light
I
want
to
just
pick
up
a
little
bit
on
what
the
superintendent
just
said,
as
it
relates
to
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
more
broadly,
to
support
and
secure
technology
and
access
and
address
the
digital
divide
for
the
state
of
california
and
for
the
future
of
our
state
to
support
our
parents
to
support
those
teachers.
B
That
may
not
need
those
supports
for
academic
purposes,
but
need
them
for
economic
and
other
purposes.
One
of
the
reasons
tom
steyer
agreed
to
co-chair
our
economic
and
jobs
recovery
task
force
was
his
desire
and
his
commitment
to
address
the
digital
divide
once
and
for
all.
He
made
a
point
which
was
very
resonant
with
me.
B
Is
we've
been
talking
about
the
digital
divide
for
the
vast
majority
of
our
lifetime?
We
want
to
move
past
this
and
have
the
digital
divide
in
our
rear
view,
mirror,
and
while
schools
are
foundational
in
those
efforts,
we
also
need
to
broaden
this
agenda,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
very
pleased
that
tom
joined
us
here
today
he's
going
to
update
you
on
the
work
of
the
task
force,
the
work
that
he's
done
with
internet
service
providers
and
others
and
I'll
talk
in
a
moment
about
an
executive
order.
D
Thank
you,
mr
governor,
and
I
want
to
take
a
second
at
the
outset
to
thank
the
governor
and
his
team.
They
are
working
incredibly
hard.
They
are
making
tough
decisions
every
day
to
put
the
health
of
californians
first
and
as
the
co-chair
of
the
task
force,
I
am
very
proud
to
play
a
role
in
helping
advise
them.
D
D
Our
discussions
have
ranged
over
how
it's
affecting
every
aspect
of
our
economic
and
social
well-being,
from
telehealth
to
teletraining
to
e-commerce,
but
particularly
the
issue
of
distance
learning.
Now
that
over
six
million
california
school
kids
will
be
going
we'll
be
learning
online.
This
fall.
That's!
Why,
with
everyone
from
governor
newsom
to
state
superintendent,
tony
thurman
to
the
state
legislature,
every
member
of
the
task
force
is
committed
to
closing
the
digital
divide
in
california
asap.
D
We
want
a
more
fair,
more
resilient
and
more
inclusive
economy
in
the
21st
century,
starting
with
ensuring
that
everyone
has
access
to
the
tools
that
they
need
to
succeed,
and
in
particular
we
know
that
under
no
circumstance
can
we,
the
adults
fail
our
children.
We
cannot
take
no
for
an
answer
specifically
on
the
task
force.
D
But
now
we
seek
and
need
an
even
stronger
partnership
with
them
during
this
time
of
distance
learning
in
covid19,
the
internet
service
providers
should
and
must
increase
their
outreach
regarding
their
affordable
plan.
Offerings
help
deploy
near-term
connectivity
solutions
as
well
as
ensure
that
financially
insecure
families
remain
connected.
D
B
I
appreciate
the
sentiment
and,
moreover,
tom,
thank
you
for
all
your
outstanding
work,
leading
this
task
force.
We
were
able,
just
a
couple
days
ago,
to
to
lay
out
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you've
already
accomplished
on
that
task
force
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we'll
be
working
with
the
legislature
over
the
next
few
weeks
to
deliver.
But
none
is
more
foundational,
the
fate
and
future
of
the
state
of
california
to
future
proof.
B
This
state
to
address
the
issue
of
of
equity,
to
address
this
divide
again,
that
transcends
just
our
school
system,
but
persist
all
throughout
our
society
than
finally
dealing
with
this
digital
divide
in
the
state
of
california.
No
reason
the
state
of
california
shouldn't
lead
the
nation
in
this
space.
That's
your
resolve!
B
It's
our
collective
commitment
and
we
codified
a
lot
of
that
based
upon
guidance
and
support
that
the
100
member
task
force
provided
based
upon
guidance
and
support
that
a
lot
of
key
legislative
leaders
have
provided
based
upon
the
expertise
we're
able
to
source
at
the
california,
public
utilities,
commission
and
elsewhere.
We've
put
out
today
an
executive
order,
quite
literally
codifying
a
lot
of
those
recommendations,
a
lot
of
those
thoughts.
B
We
have
specific
goals
as
it
relates
to
not
just
access
to
the
internet,
but
quality
access
and
we're
talking
in
terms
of
a
goal
of
a
hundred
megabytes
of
download
speed,
which
should
be
a
foundational
pursuit
for
all
of
us
across
this
country
and
that's
close
to
fiber
like
speeds,
but
that's
where
we
need
to
be
if
we're
going
to
be
globally
competitive
and
provide
the
quality
of
education,
regardless
of
our
backgrounds
that
people
deserve.
We
put
out
new
mapping
expectation
that
was
tom's
reference
to
esri
and
others.
B
New
data
collection,
more
transparency,
more
accountability.
We
have
some
strategies
on
funding
working
with
the
legislature
and
what
superintendent
thurman
referenced
some
of
the
legislative
pursuits
that
are
currently
underway
and
new
expectation
in
terms
of
time
to
delivery
and
deployment
and
adoption.
We
also
have
dusted
off
this
old
broadband
council
that
existed
well
in
a
world
that
no
longer
exists,
or
at
least
was
conceived
in
a
world
that
no
longer
exists,
we're
still
in
sort
of
the
dial-up
mode.
B
In
some
of
our
thinking,
and
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
be
upgrading
their
work
put
together
a
new
action
plan
that
has
to
be
fundamentally
reimagined
moving
forward,
so
just
wanted
folks
to
know.
There's
progress
in
that
space.
B
It's
in
the
thematic
that
we're
advancing
here
today,
as
it
relates
to
digital
divide
and
distance
learning
for
our
kids,
but
it's
again
foundational
for
our
economic
future
as
well
speaking
about
our
future,
no
one
more
committed
to
the
future
of
this
state
than
the
leader
president
of
our
school
system
in
the
state
of
california,
linda,
darling,
hammond.
Many
of
you
know
her
well
in
terms
of
her
advocacy
and
support,
particularly
for
people
special
needs,
the
work
she
did
at
stanford
university
in
her
own
right
in
ngo.
B
She
leads
internationally
not
just
nationally
connected
to
this
cause
and
constantly
providing
leading-edge
thoughts
and
leading-edge
advice
we're
just
so
blessed.
She
took
this
formal
role
here
in
the
state
of
california,
but
in
that
role,
linda
has
been
working
with
local
districts
on
the
application,
not
of
why
we
need
to
do
distance
learning,
not
what
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
putting
those
guard
rails
in
place,
but
how
to
deliver
it
from
a
bottom
up,
not
just
top-down
perspective.
She
wants
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
work
and
linda.
B
If
you
could
just
amplify
the
legitimate
concerns
we
have
as
someone
with
my
own
learning
disabilities,
recognizing
the
challenges
with
two
of
my
kids
in
that
place
and
they're
really
the
needs
to
help
special
needs
students
in
the
state
of
california.
I'd
love.
You
as
well
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
after
you
move
forward
with
your
broader
presentation
on
the
work
you're
doing
at
the
local
level.
E
I'm
glad
to
do
that
and
thanks
governor
for
all
that,
you're
doing
to
move
this
day
forward.
In
all
the
ways
we've
been
talking
about.
I
want
to
give
us
a
small
glimpse
of
what's
happening
in
the
field.
How
are
our
school
systems
stepping
up
in
respect
to
all
of
the
initiatives
that
we've
just
described?
E
When
schools
were
physically
closed
in
march
school
districts
scrambled
to
figure
out
how
to
purchase
devices,
there
were
supply
chain
problems.
How
to
get
20
percent
of
households
without
wi-fi
wired
up
had
helped
teachers
learn
how
to
effectively
teach
online.
Since
then,
a
lot
has
happened.
Our
58
county
offices
of
education
have
stepped
up
in
a
big
way
to
help
districts
with
technology
and
training.
E
Four
of
these
counties-
kern
orange
san
bernardino
and
san
diego,
have
launched
a
distance
learning
consortium
through
the
ccee,
which
provides
curriculum
units
and
lesson
plans,
as
well
as
training
for
teachers.
Many
have
created
their
own
digital
equity
task
forces
to
purchase
and
distribute
computers.
E
The
california
department
of
education
and
the
california
collaborative
for
educational
excellence
have
been
providing
guidance
tool
kits
webinars
and
professional
learning
opportunities.
As
we
heard,
districts
have
spent
the
summer
gearing
up
to
ensure
quality
and
equity
in
distance
learning
and
talking
to
school
leaders
this
week
in
districts,
ranging
from
our
biggest
districts
in
los
angeles,
san,
diego
and
long
beach
to
tiny
high
poverty.
Rural
districts
like
elk
hills,
which
is
30
miles,
east
of
bakersfield
and
san
lucas,
which
is
in
a
part
of
monterey
county
that
has
no
street
lights
or
sidewalks.
E
I've
heard
how
all
of
those
districts
have
ensured
that
a
hundred
percent
of
their
students
can
have
laptops
and
hot
spots
and
settings
ranging
from
households
to
homeless
shelters.
A
huge
amount
of
learning
has
really
gone
on.
San,
diego
and
elk
hills
held
focus
groups
with
parents
to
learn
about
what
worked
and
what
did
not
work
last
spring.
What
families
need
that?
E
Guided
their
plans
for
common
online
platforms
and
instructional
approaches
in
the
fall
los
angeles
learned
more
about
how
to
offer
effective
online
instruction
by
offering
summer
school
to
all
and
more
than
100
000
students
showed
up
studying,
reading
and
math,
of
course,
but
also
music
and
the
arts.
Thousands
of
them
took
guitar
lessons
with
instruments
donated
by
fender.
Guitars
they've
got
another
2
000
coming
this
year,
because
they're
committed
to
having
the
arts
side
by
side
with
math
and
social
studies
and
science
and
english
language
arts
in
their
curriculum.
E
The
staff
have
learned
how
to
use
platforms
and
zoom
breakout
rooms
and
chat
boxes
and
how
to
work
more
effectively
with
parents
and
students
in
these
virtual
settings
in
san,
diego
parents
and
students,
along
with
teachers,
will
have
professional
development
at
the
start
of
the
school
year
august
31st
for
them
they'll
all
learn
how
to
engage
daily
in
the
online
learning
and
the
project
work
that
is
going
to
occur
in
each
of
the
subjects,
as
well
as
how
to
access
teachers
during
their
office.
E
Hours
for
one-to-one
problem
solving
in
los
angeles
school
starts
next
week,
in
addition
to
the
daily
classes
in
all
their
content,
areas,
students
who
are
in
need
will
be
able
to
access
free
online
tutoring
to
anyone
who
needs
it
in
long
beach
starting
september.
First,
the
district
has
more
than
enough
laptops
and
hot
spots
for
every
child.
E
The
courses
are
planned
and
ready
and,
as
was
true
last
spring,
they've
identified
excellent
teachers
who
do
a
terrific
job
of
distance
learning,
who
are
offering
classes
in
specialty
subjects
online
as
many
students,
as
ones
who
can
come
last
spring.
Some
of
them
drew
over
2
000
students
and
some
will
be
offering
demonstration
lessons
online
for
other
teachers
who
want
to
learn
their
approaches
in
elk
hills.
E
This
district
has
overhauled
all
of
its
curriculum
plans
and
the
subject
areas
to
use
technology
to
accelerate
learning,
they've
got
social,
emotional
learning
leading
off
every
day,
and
that's
also
common
across
these
districts
and
finally,
in
very
rural
san
lucas,
every
student
has
been
provided
with
a
new
laptop
and
internet
service,
but
as
you
and
tom
steyer
and
others
were
describing,
wi-fi
is
still
sometimes
unreliable.
E
So
the
district
has
prepared
a
plan
b
and
a
plan
c.
If
the
wi-fi
fails,
the
students
can
call
in
to
join
the
class
and
talk
to
the
teacher
students
also
have
paper
pack-ups
for
backup.
If
they
can't
get
through
online
every
week,
the
staff
will
convene
to
figure
out
how
to
reach
any
children
who
are
not
able
to
engage
that
week,
including
making
socially
distanced
house
calls.
E
E
I'm
glad
to
answer
additional
questions,
particularly
on
the
issue
of
meeting
the
needs
of
our
english
learners
and
special
education
students,
I
can
say
that
in
every
case
where
I
talked
to
school
leaders,
this
was
front
of
mind
for
them
and
very
creative
approaches
to
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
use
small
zoom
breakout
rooms
for
paraprofessionals
to
work
with
the
students
with
special
needs.
One-On-One
meetings
with
specialists,
as
well
as
with
classroom
teachers
and
eagerness
to
get
back
to
school
in
person.
B
All
right
and
linda,
perhaps
just
if
I
may,
just
because
I
think
it's
important
the
guidelines
we
put
out
recently
afford
the
ability
for
districts
to
make
a
determination
for
those
with
acute
needs
to
allow
in-person
instruction,
even
with
the
broader
guidelines
we
put
out.
Maybe
you
can
just
amplify.
I
know
there's
additional
work
being
done
in
that
space,
but
as
a
foundational
principle.
B
That
is
one
that
we
have
advanced
through
your
leadership.
Tony
thurman's
leadership.
E
Yeah
and
we
many
many
districts
are
prepared
to
offer
small
small
group
settings,
even
while
schools
are
closed
in
the
way
that
child
care
settings
are
allowed
to
operate
with
all
of
the
rules
that
you
know,
you
reviewed
for
us
earlier
to
be
able
to
bring
back
in
person
those
students
whose
needs
are
difficult
to
meet
online
and
are
much
better
met
in
person.
B
I
appreciate
that
more
on
that
subject,
but
I
appreciate
you
just
setting
forth
the
broader
tenure
of
expectation
in
terms
of
our
recognition
that
there
are
simply
kids
that
will
never
ever
have
that
quality
learning
that
we
all
desire
to
advance
online,
no
matter
what
kind
of
support
we
provide,
even
if
we
individualize
it
and
so
we'll
acquire
even
more,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
in
that
space
and
including
just
your
incredible
advocacy.
It's
a
space.
B
I
don't
want
to
get
off
topic,
but
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
the
budgets
that
we
have
preserved
even
in
this
economy
and
the
budgets
we
substantially
enhanced
last
year,
we're
in
the
special
education
space
and
we
recognize
we
have
enormous
amount
of
work
still
left
to
do
again.
As
I
said,
closing
things
out.
Bottom
line
learning
is
non-negotiable,
but
neither
is
safety
with
that.
Let
me
briefly
go
through
the
issue.
B
That
brings
many
of
you
to
these
press
conferences
and
quickly
update
you
on
the
latest
number
of
case
case
positive
cases
that
we
have
brought
in
since
august.
13Th
you'll
see
a
number
there
of
7934,
as
was
the
case
on
wednesday
before
you
jot.
That
number
down
consider
that
this
will
be
the
last
day
we
will
have
to
report
backlogged
cases
related
to
a
backlog
that
many
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
of
the
7934
4429
or
backlog
cases,
putting
our
new
case
number
today
at
3505..
B
So
this
was
the
day
we
committed
to
reporting
out
our
efforts
to
clean
up
the
backlog,
bring
all
the
positive
cases
related
to
the
backlog
of
total
cases,
roughly
295
000
cases,
a
lot
of
those
will
be
de-duplicated
and
roughly
20
000
positives
in
that
cohort.
On
monday,
we're
going
to
break
down
by
county
a
detailed
list,
so
people
will
have
with
clarity
and
precision
every
single
number
again
on
the
county
by
county
basis.
B
But
this
completes
our
efforts,
100
of
our
efforts
to
address
the
backlog,
to
update
our
case
numbers
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
here
on
this
slide
and
on
this
slide,
our
positivity
rate.
Now,
in
the
state
of
california,
averaging
137
000
tests
a
day
and
I'll
repeat
that
we're
averaging
137
000
tests
a
day,
188
000
a
few
days
back,
111
000
that
came
in
yesterday
averaging
137
000
cases.
B
We
have
a
positivity
rate
percentage
of
people
that
test
positive
for
cova
19
versus
the
total
number
of
people
that
were
tested
of
6.2
percent
over
the
last
day
period.
Last
time
I
presented
the
positivity
rate.
It
was
at
7.0
percent
today
at
6.2
percent
moving
as
we
asserted
a
few
weeks
back
and
certainly
asserted
last
week
in
a
positive
direction.
You
could
see
here
and
you
unpack
this
the
14
day.
Look
at
the
positivity
rate.
I
can
see
where
it
was
even
pre.
B
The
last
presentation
at
7.0
over
7.3
dropping
down
stabilizing
bouncing
around
a
little
bit
in
the
last
seven
or
so
days,
not
surprisingly,
and
in
accordance
with
trends
that
we
have
presented
consistently
over
the
course
of
months,
positivity
rates,
hospitalizations
icus
being
having
a
relational
construct
here.
Hospitalization
numbers
continue
to
glide
decline.
14-Day
number
19.9
percent
decrease
20
percent
decrease
over
a
14
day
period.
That's
an
encouraging
sign.
I
remind
you,
as
I
always
do,
this
is
total
number
in
the
aggregate.
B
None
of
us
live
in
the
aggregate
each
and
every
one
of
you
live
somewhere
at
the
extent
you're
watching
this
within
the
state
of
california,
somewhere
in
the
state
hospitalization
numbers
may
vary,
may
be
very
different
in
terms
of
outlook
and
concerns
for
you,
that's
why
we
have
a
county
monitoring
list,
reminding
you,
the
state's
population
populations
larger
than
21
state
populations
combined,
but
in
the
aggregate
the
state
of
california
has
experienced
a
roughly
20
percent
decrease
in
hospitalization
patients
that
have
identified
covet
19
in
the
last
14
days.
The
last
slide
presentation.
B
Last
monday,
you
saw
a
number
as
high
as
nine
percent
total
capacity
in
the
hospital
system.
Bed
capacity
filled
with
covert
19
patients,
we're
now
at
seven
percent,
icu
admissions
down
some
14.3
percent,
roughly
14,
basically
tracking,
where
hospitalizations
are
and
that's
an
encouraging
sign.
We
need
to
see
more
stability.
We
need
to
see
that
line
continue
to
bend
in
this
direction.
We're
not
out
of
the
woods,
do
not
take
that
snapshot
by
the
way
of
33
or
so
100
positive
cases
to
assume
anything.
B
B
Thank
you
to
everybody,
watching
thank
you
to
40
million
californians
and
those
that
have
really
done
their
best
to
be
responsible,
not
only
their
own
health,
but
to
their
friends,
family,
loved
ones
in
the
broader
community,
in
the
society
we're
trying
to
rebuild
after
this
pandemic
care
capacity
in
the
icus
down
to
about
20
percent
from
22-23,
and
so
you
see
that
reflected
in
the
pie
chart
again
encouraging
numbers,
putting
a
little
less
pressure
on
the
system,
but
again
that
pressure
persists
in
certain
parts.
B
Certain
regions
of
the
state
disproportionately
now,
as
we've
been
very
clear
about
in
the
central
valley,
eight
counties
that
continue
in
that
valley
to
be
top
of
mind
of
concerning
consideration,
but
even
in
the
central
valley,
we're
seeing
in
most
cases
not
every
case
most
case,
a
rate
of
growth.
That's
beginning
to
decline,
but
still
growth,
that
is
of
concern.
As
the
superintendent
said,
I
don't
have
to
always
say
it.
Please
wear
a
mask
continue
to
physically
distance.
B
These
are
rules
and
guidelines
that
we
put
out
within
our
education
system
when
not
if
we
reopen
for
in-person
learning.
That
will
happen.
If
you
ask
when
that
will
happen
sooner
than
later,
if
we
continue
to
wear
a
mask
and
continue
to
take
seriously
the
need
to
physically
distance,
including
this
weekend
where
we
now
have
a
new
flex
order
that
just
came
out
from
cal
ice
iso
independent
system
operator.
B
That
basically
means
those
are
the
experts,
as
it
relates
to
energy
consumption
in
the
state.
They
wanted
me
to
tell
you
that
this
flex
warning
that
they
put
out
today
means
it
would
be
helpful
to
the
entire
electrical
delivery
system
in
the
state
of
california.
If
you
can,
to
the
extent,
warranted
and
possible
reduce
your
electricity
consumption
between
the
hours
of
three
and
eight
pm
we're
seeing
triple
digit
temperatures.
I
think
I
read
they're,
anticipating
death
valley
temperatures
to
go
to
record
of
127
degrees.
That's
in
our
state!
B
That's
not
some
distant
land
overseas,
the
next
seven,
eight
nine
ten
days
we're
going
to
experience
record
breaking
temperatures
as
the
case
in
any
jurisdiction
on
the
globe.
That
means
we
can
all
do
well
just
to
be
thoughtful
about
our
electricity
and
energy
consumption.
B
So
that's
a
very
long-winded
presentation,
forgive
me,
but
I
don't
know
anything
more
important
to
parents
out
there
in
the
state
of
california
than
the
subject
matter.
That
brings
us
to
this
hour,
and
I
also
want
to
just
again
thank
the
head
of
our
state
board
of
education,
linda
darling,
hammond,
and
thank
the
superintendent
of
public
education,
tony
thurman.
Thank
you
to
the
co-chair
of
our
economic
recovery
task
force,
tom
steyer,
for
their
participation,
their
presentations
here
today,
and
all
of
them
stand
by
with.
F

Hannah
wiley
zach
b
hi
governor
thanks
for
taking
questions
pivoting
a
little
bit
here
on
the
ninth
circuit
court
of
appeals
today
struck
down
the
2016
law
banning
possession
of
high
capacity
firearm
magazines.
So
my
question
is:
do
you
plan
to
take
action?
Will
california
respond
to
this
and
what's
the
next
step,
moving
forward
on
california's
part,
I'm.
B
Very
proud
of
of
working
to
lead
that
effort,
also
working
with
legislative
leaders,
governor
brown,
others
that
were
instrumental
in
advancing
that
collective
cause.
California's
leadership
as
it
relates
to
gun
safety.
Second,
to
none
in
this
nation,
I'll
remind
everybody.
A
gun,
respectfully
he's
never
killed
anybody
unless
the
gun
is
used
as
a
blunt
instrument,
the
gun
requires
a
dangerous
and
deadly
component,
and
that
is
a
bullet
ammunition.
It's
a
rather
interesting
fact
in
this
state
for
over
a
quarter
century,
not
in
this
country.
B
However,
we
have
background
checks,
comprehensive
background
checks,
at
least
here
in
the
state
of
california,
on
gun
purchases,
but
not
on
its
deadly
component,
and
so
we've
long
advanced
efforts
to
focus
not
just
on
guns,
but
also
focus
on
keeping
those
dangerous
components
out
of
the
hands
of
people
that
otherwise
should
not
be
afforded
that
fundamental
privilege,
slash
right,
large
capacity
magazine
clips
with
respect,
I
think,
fall
into
that
category.
There's
been
local
ordinances
that
have
been
upheld
by
the
courts.
B
The
state
ordinance
I
haven't
had
the
chance
to
read
the
decision
that
just
came
out
when
I
do
I'll
have
a
chance
to
respond
in
detail
to
your
question
about
what
our
next
steps
are,
but
I
think
it
was
sound.
I
think
it
was
right
and
I
think
that
the
overwhelming
I
don't
think
I
know
the
overwhelming
majority
of
californians
agreed
when
they
supported
a
ballot
initiative
that
we
put
forth
asking
them
for
their
opinion
on
this
subject
as
well.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
governor.
A
couple
questions,
one
related
to
covent
and
one
related
to
the
problems
with
the
united
parcel
servers.
You
I'm
sorry
usps
postal
service
doubts
whether
or
not
it
will
be
able
to
deliver
the
volume
of
mail-in
ballots
for
the
november
election.
G
Is
there
anything
that
the
state
of
california
can
do
to
deal
with
that
and
the
covet
question
in
schools
is
related
to
what
linda
darling
hammond
was
talking
about
these
small
groups
of
students
with
special
needs
being
able
to
convene
in
person
can
that
occur
in
the
state
in
the
counties
on
the
watch
list,
and
when
will
the
specific
guidance
for
that
be
coming
out.
B
Thank
you
for
the
question,
and
and
since
I
open
up
that
door
and
open
up
the
conversation
in
anticipation,
rightfully
that
someone
may
bring
it
up.
Certainly
one
we've
been
talking
about
for
months
now,
linda
you're,
still
on
the
phone,
and
if
you
could
answer
that
question-
and
maybe
you
can
also
amplify
talking
a
little
bit
about
just
a
broad
strokes
preview
of
some
of
these
care
center
concepts
that
are
also
being
formalized
throughout
the
state.
E
Those
guidelines
that
have
been
created
can
be
developed
further
for
a
similar
kind
of
convening
in
school
districts
that
are
on
the
watch
list
that
counties
that
are
on
the
watch
list
to
convene
very
small
groups
that
are
in
small
cohorts
that
do
not
interact
with
other
cohorts
that
are
able
to
work
with
staff.
You
know
on
particular
kinds
of
learning
that
would
be
in
counties
that
are
on
the
watch
list
that
you
know
have
where,
where
the
framework
for
the
provision
of
those
services
you
know,
meets
a
whole
set
of
guidelines.
E
Similarly,
there
are
places
in
the
state
that
are
figuring
out
how
to
offer
settings
for
children
to
come
to
for
distance
learning
if
they're
in
a
place
that
cannot
receive
internet
or
whether
there's
not
a
parent
at
home
or
if
they
need
additional
support
in
san
francisco,
the
children,
the
department
of
children,
families
and
youth
is
creating
some
of
these
kinds
of
essentially
child
care.
Like
settings,
small
small
groups
with
social
distancing,
face
coverings
and
support
of
adults
to
be
sure
that
kids
are
supported
even
during
distance
learning.
E
So
that,
as
I
said,
was,
is
something
that's
being
worked
through
in
terms
of
the
guidelines
and
will
be
available.
Probably
within
the
week
for
consideration
by
school
districts.
B
Appreciate
the
question
is
a
very
sensitive
one
and
very
poignant
and
personal
one
for
hundreds
of
thousands
of
families
in
this
state,
and
so
I
appreciate,
linda
you're,
illuminating
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
already
happening
in
this
space,
but,
moreover,
some
of
the
more
specific
prescriptive
guidelines
we'll
be
putting
out
again
a
lot
of
pressure,
a
lot
of
anxiety
on
parents
on
students,
these
kids,
our
kids
themselves
and
our
teachers
and
paraprofessionals
and
others,
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
all
the
teachers
and
paraprofessionals.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
working
through
your
own
anxieties.
Your
own
fears,
your
own
concern
about
your
own
personal
health.
Many
of
you
have
kids
yourself
that
need
support.
In
addition
to
the
kids
that
you
are
supporting
every
day
in
our
virtual
classrooms.
I
know
all
of
you
got
into
education
for
equity
purposes.
B
Overwhelming
majority
did
to
right
wrongs
to
address
the
issue
of
social
mobility
and
care,
deeply
about
learning
disabilities
and
learning
differences,
and
the
needs
of
special
needs
that
so
many
of
your
students
have
so
again
a
lot
of
work
being
done
a
lot
of
anxiety
in
this
space
and
know
that
we've
got
a
good
team,
linda
and
her
team
and,
of
course,
great
work
of
our
superintendent
that
are
resolved
for
the
long
haul.
B
To
address
these
issues,
let
me
just
quickly
address
the
issue
as
it
relates
to
what's
happening
or
not
happening
with
some
of
the
sabotage.
That's
clearly
intentionally
be
done
to
our
postal
delivery.
Here
in
this
country,
this
is
going
to
impact.
Not
just
elections
can
impact
your
ability
to
get
quality
care
in
terms
of
your
prescriptions
to
get
information
to
be
able
to
correspond
with
loved
ones
and
the
like
vulnerable
populations,
disproportionately
being
impacted
because
of
utilization
of
our
postal
system.
B
I
haven't
experienced
this
in
my
lifetime.
I
don't
know
that
any
of
us
have
the
weaponization
of
sorts
of
our
postal
system.
Here's
an
answer
to
your
question.
I
am
not
a
member
of
the
federal
government
but,
however,
as
a
federal
taxpayer,
a
demand
and
expect
more
of
our
country,
and
that
first
needs
to
be
called
out,
I'm
not
alone
in
calling
that
out-
and
I
don't
know
that
this
by
any
stretch
is
even
a
partisan
issue.
B
I
think
vast
majority
of
us
regards
our
political
stripes
would
assess
the
situation
accordingly
and
assert.
I
think
similar
sentiment
around
legitimate
concern
about
sorting
systems
vanishing
around
concerns
about
just
basic
fundamental
life-saving
delivery.
That
has
been
part
of
our
proud
history,
as
it
relates
to
our
postal
service.
It's
about
it's
americana,
it's
apple
pie
and
I'll,
throw
in
baseball.
That
being
said
relates
to
the
issue
of
what
the
state
can
do.
Let
me
tell
you
what
we've
done.
I
signed
two
executive
orders
a
number
of
months
ago
to
jump
start.
B
The
process
working
with
our
secretary
of
state
alex
padilla
on
mail-in
ballots.
Mail-In
ballots
are
well
known
and
well
utilized
here
in
the
state
of
california,
increasing
numbers,
every
election
of
people
using
absentee
ballots,
which
are
mailing
ballots
very
effectively
and
very
safely.
The
numbers
increase
every
single
year,
but
not
everybody
wants
the
benefit
of
a
mail-in
ballot,
even
in
a
pre-covet
environment
they
want
the
in-person
experience,
there's
something
that
is
very
touching
and
emotional
about
that.
B
I'll,
be
honest,
that's
my
preferred
source
of
voting
there's
something
about
election
day,
bringing
your
kids,
as
I
have
last
few
times
and
and
sort
of
teach
them
civics,
that's
deeply
emotional
and-
and
it
attaches
very
deeply
and
sear
very
deeply.
In
my
memory
from
the
first
time
I
was
able
to
vote,
we
want
to
provide
those
points
of
access
as
well,
and
that
was
the
second
executive
order
I
signed
to
provide
access
points
for
drop-off.
B
That
is
not
just
to
the
postal
service,
drop-offs
of
ballots
that
you
may
have
filled
out
at
home,
but
want
to
drop
off
in
person,
provisional
ballots
and
the
like,
and
the
work
that
obviously
needs
to
be
done
for
people
that
otherwise
are
not
accessing
or
cannot
for
other
limitations
and
challenges,
the
absentee
or
mail-in
ballots.
B
Those
two
executive
orders
were
codified.
Thank
you
to
the
leadership
the
california
legislature.
They
they
passed
two
pieces
of
legislation
and
I
recently
just
signed
them
to
double
down
on
those
commitments,
but
we
also
did
this.
We
have
a
provision
that
allows
17
days
to
collect
ballots.
If
it's
postmarked,
we
will
give
the
ability
for
our
registrars
to
get
those
things
collected
and,
moreover,
certified,
but
over
a
17-day
period
we
thought
that
was
important
with
all
the
uncertainty
of
covid.
B
We
didn't
realize
how
prescient
not
just
important
that
now
appears
to
have
been
with
what
has
happened
with
some
of
what
I
would
describe
almost
as
vandalism
of
our
of
our
postal
system,
and
so
I
hope
I
hope
this
is
a
temporary
moment.
I
hope
cooler
heads
will
prevail.
I
hope
congress
work
with
the
president
to
address
his
concerns
and
work
together
to
build
this
into
the
next
stimulus
package.
Put
aside
our
differences,
I
I
expect
and
believe
that
will
happen.
B
H
Good
afternoon
governor,
we
have
a
fairly
sizable
private
religious
school
here
in
fresno
county
that
opened
for
in-person
instruction.
Yesterday
then
got
a
public
health
officer
order
to
close,
and
yet
they
opened
again
today,
despite
that
order.
So
can
you
talk
to
us
about
the
consequences
for
that
both
from
the
public
health
perspective
and
also
the
legal
perspective.
B
Yeah
I
mean
I,
you
know
I
I
grew
up.
I
had
the
privilege
at
least
a
moment
of
of
education
in
catholic
schools.
We
were
taught
to
respect
rules
and
regulations,
and
so
I'm
I'm
disappointed,
obviously
that
they're
not
abiding
by
their
local
health
officer,
whose
purpose
it
is
simply
to
keep
people
healthy,
keep
people
safe,
not
only
the
kids
but
the
leadership
of
that
school
and
others.
B
So,
by
definition,
I'm
disappointed
in
that
particularly
someone
who
grew
up
in
the
church,
and
it
has
profound
reverence,
profound
reverence,
not
just
respect
for
its
teachings,
and
maybe
this
for
me
not.
B
Maybe
this
provides
a
bit
of
a
disconnect
in
that
respect,
because
I
think
we
operate
from
a
communitarian
perspective,
at
least
in
terms
of
the
religious
teachings
that
I
was
afforded
and
I
think,
as
it
relates
to
this
pandemic
and
how
easily
transmitted
this
disease
is
and
how
impacted
this
state
and
our
economy
and
our
nation
in
the
world
has
been
that
we'd
all
do
well
to
abide
by
our
local
health
officers,
and
so
the
system
we
set
up
was
designed
exactly
as
it's
now
operating
local
health
officer.
B
Doing
the
right
thing
to
the
extent
that
this
school,
unfortunately
is
choosing
not
to
model
good
behavior
and
doing
the
right
thing
and
to
the
extent
that
the
county
will
be
involved
and
the
extent
the
state
needs
to
be
involved.
We'll
consider
that
so
look
I
I'm
not.
You
know
what
happens
in
these
instances
governor
sort
of
points
something
out
and
people
you
know,
react
and
everybody
flexes
their
muscles,
I'm
not
trying
to
flex
any
muscle
here.
B
All
I
am
is
trying
to
encourage
people
to
stay
safe,
stay
healthy,
because
my
absolute
goal
is
one
I
think
the
leaders
of
the
school
share
and
that's
to
keep
our
kids
safe
to
keep
them
educated.
Our
default
remains
in
person,
education
for
all
of
the
reasons
that
we've
stated
and
all
the
reasons
I
know
the
leadership
of
that
school
believes
in,
but
we
can
do
that
by
moving
quickly
to
eradicate
and
mitigate
the
spread
of
this
disease,
get
the
treatments
and
ultimately
get
to
a
vaccine
sooner.
B
I
Yes,
governor,
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
questions.
I'm
hoping
you
can
speak
to
a
little
bit
about
california
becoming
the
first
state
with
600
thousand
confirmed
cases
of
covid
and
a
little
bit
more
to
the
specifics
of
today's
executive
order.
If
you
could.
B
Yeah,
I
think
the
six
point,
two
percent
positivity
rate
is
a
very
encouraging
sign.
I
think
it's
interesting
california,
while
we
may
have
gotten
a
slower
start
than
we
otherwise
wanted
it's
a
stubborn
start
as
it
relates
to
testing
you
know,
we've
been
able
to
step
up
our
testing
in
a
meaningful
way.
B
What's
the
community
spread
of
this
disease,
we're
not
shying
away
from
that
we're
not
playing
in
the
political
frame
that
somehow
tests
are
bad
because
they
were,
by
definition,
show
a
higher
count
of
total
number
of
positives,
but
the
number
that
really
matters
to
us,
the
one
that
I'm
not
as
fixated
on,
as
perhaps
others
are,
is
that
positivity
rate
that
gives
us
a
better
sense
of
what's
really
happening
in
terms
of
the
community
spread
what's
happening
in
our
hospitals
is
foundational.
What's
happening
in
the
icu's
is
foundational.
B
Obviously
that
leads
to
concerns
and
obvious
issues
related
to
morbidity,
mortality,
and
so
that's
where
our
energies
are,
but
I
I'm
not
going
to
back
off
on
more
tests
because
I
fear
a
question
like
yours
or
concern
about
total
number
of
cases.
You
have
a
responsibility.
This
nation,
I
think,
deserves
to
have
a
better
sense
to
know
how
prevalent
is
this
disease
and
I
can
assure
you
to
exponentially
well,
maybe
not
exponentially.
B
It's
significantly,
I
would
argue
more
prevalent
than
those
numbers
even
in
california
suggests,
and
it's
simply
because
we
haven't
put
the
testing
protocols
in
place
and
we
haven't
scaled
our
testing
capacity
as
the
most
innovative
nation
on
the
planet,
and
so
that
includes
california.
We've
got
work
to
do.
We've
got
this
x
prize,
we
put
out.
We
got
this
new
testing
task
force.
B
That's
been,
instructed
to
be
more
creative
in
terms
of
new
testing
strategies,
new
in-home
testing
strategies,
non-pcr
testing
strategies
and
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
announcements
in
that
space,
or,
I
hope,
you'll
look
forward
to
them
very
very
soon.
So
that's
just
that's
it
broadly.
On
a
nutshell:
you'll
see
the
executive
order.
Forgive
me.
I
don't
want
to
belabor
this,
but
we
have
that
executive
order
should
be
up
online
and
available
to
you.
B
It's
multiple
pages
you'll
see
the
details
in
the
executive
order
in
terms
of
this
broadband
council
and
some
of
our
new
goals
and
expectations
on
100
megabits
and
bites
rather
and
other
strategies
to
improve
and
expand
our
efforts
that
tom
and
his
team
have
been
working
on
for
many
many
months.
So
that's
a
that's
a
that's
a
long
day
for
all
of
you
that
have
been
tuning
in.
Thank
you
for
privileging
your
time
and
attention.
B
I
want
to
thank
my
team
ben
cheetah
in
particular
for
all
his
hard
work
in
terms
of
the
education
guidance
and
dr
pan
is
with
us
today
and
her
outstanding
work
working
with
the
counties.
They'll
be
working
overtime
this
weekend
to
clarify
any
final
details.
So
we
really
wanted
to
get
that
presentation
to
a
point
where
everybody's
100
percent
on
the
same
page-
and
that
will
happen
monday,
we'll
get
that
new,
updated
monitoring
list
out
and
about
work
with
those
elementary
schools
that
are
looking
to
do
these
waivers.
B
Many
of
them
have
already
submitted
waivers,
and
we
look
forward
to
the
epi
daddy
data
coming
out
monday
to
help
advance
that
cause
as
well
with
that
continue.
The
cause
of
good
hygiene
wearing
his
face
mask
be
safe
and
try
to
avoid
mixing
this
very
hot
weekend
and
between
three
and
eight.
If
you
could,
iso
would
be
please
maybe
turn
off
a
few
lights
if
you
could
to
help
us
with
our
energy
grid.
Take
care
everybody.
