As COVID-19 continues to spread out of control, the leaders of seven of the largest school districts in the state are warning that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to physically reopen schools fails to address the needs of urban school districts that serve nearly a quarter of California students.

In a Jan. 6 letter to Newsom, the superintendents of Los Angeles Unified, San Diego Unified, Fresno Unified, Long Beach Unified, San Francisco Unified, Oakland Unified and Sacramento City Unified school districts warned that the governor’s “Safe Schools for All” plan does not address the disproportionate impact COVID is having on low-income communities of color and reverses a decade-long commitment to equity-based funding.
