Local schools are assessing what they will need to do to follow the new rules established by the state regarding vaccinations and testing for teachers. Governor Gavin Newsom announced yesterday that California will become the first state to mandate that all teachers and other school employees – including custodians and bus drivers – to either be vaccinated for COVID-19 or submit to regular testing. Newsom said this is the right thing to do and is a sustainable way to keeping schools open.
