The Governor of California announced the possibility of school starting in July! I kind of have mixed feelings on this, as do many others!

If I were the governor of California, cancel the schooling until late August at the earliest.

@Michellekidwell I can understand a summer school session only.

It might be a good idea to get the children back into school if even for a while.

When my first husband was in the Navy we had friends in El Cajon. At that time they had year round schools, with only 3/4 of the kids in school at a time. 6 weeks on 2 weeks off. Here in Kansas pretty much all of our schools are air conditioned. I wonder if your governor is doing that to a.) make up for what was missed or b.) be proactive in case there is another shut down from virus in the fall.

I doubt Newsome will do it. It's contrary to all else he has stated. He has sworn California will never be allowed any sense of normalcy until immunity (impossible) or vaccine (remote at this point) so it depends on pressure placed on him by growing discontent by a state population being economically crushed into dust.

I really hope he doesn't, if anything I'd see a later start to the school year not earlier, maybe continuing distance learning until things calm down...

That is so stupid. One of the reasons why we have summer is because it is too hot for kids to go to school. California should know this because it is hot there. I couldn't imagine going to school in July. August was hard enough, having to walk home in 120 degree weather, it was terrible.

Here in my country it is not possible, we are still in quarantine and the school year ends the first week of July.

Our school year usually ends the first week of June, but because of Quarrantine it was Mid March..

That seems odd. I would think August would have been more likely.

I think it will still depend on the situation. If the coronavirus situation controls well, perhaps the schools can open earlier. In my city the schools seem to open on May 11 but I haven't got a confirmation yet. I think they are still estimating it. I personally think later will be better anyway.
