Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced a $2-billion package of financial incentives to encourage a return to in-person classroom instruction for California elementary school students as early as mid-February...

...Newsom said there was growing evidence that young students faced “decreased risks” associated with the coronavirus and benefited more from in-person instruction compared to at-home learning.

All school staff and students who return to school would be required to wear masks.

...administration officials planned to make the local implementation plans subject to collective bargaining agreements between labor unions...

the Newsom administration will support COVID-19 testing of teachers, staff and students, the governor’s plan does not appear to mandate testing.

Why not? They already have $500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities.

Where’s the billion that he supposedly spent on masks? I swear, there is no accountability, no follow through, and NO real journalists. This country is being spent into oblivion.

They don’t intend for us to be free again. It’s like the stockyard where the chutes get narrower and narrower compressing the herd of cattle into smaller and smaller groups until they are single file...to the slaughter house. They couldn’t defeat America - America has to willingly comply to become slaves.

Do you really think the teachers union will agree to returning to the classrooms? Really, what incentive can the retarded Gov. give to the teachers Mob?

“Why not? They already have $500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities.”

Latest state numbers show $93 billion.

A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’ll be talking real money.

Speaking of Newsom and lockdowns, please consider the following from related threads.

Patriots need to work with their respective state lawmakers to amend state constitutions in the following way.

State constitutions need to be amended to not only make state health officials elected by popular vote, but also to put time limits on lockdowns which automatically trigger recall elections for governors, mayors and health officials who order lockdowns.

And speaking of recall elections, state constitutions also need to be amended to require every popularly elected candidate for state office to first escrow a refundable “recall deposit,” the amount determined by law, to pay in full for their own recall election before being allowed to run for office.

My granddaughter is a sophomore and one of her teachers refuses to come in to school. She’ll only teach remotely so on the days that they are in class the teacher is at home and they’re paying for a sub to be in the classroom. My daughter-in-law, no shrinking violet, really went off on the principal and superintendent. Nothing has changed

Not close to $500bil...

“Pensions. Between the two pension systems, the state’s pension unfunded liabilities are estimated to total $93.1 billion ($59.7 billion at CalPERS for state employee pensions and $33.4 billion at CalSTRS for teachers’ pensions). These pension unfunded liabilities largely are due to (1) historical contributions being below recommended amounts, (2) past actual investment returns being lower than actuaries assumed, and (3) changes to actuarial assumptions (for example, assuming that people will live longer and that the system’s investment returns will be lower in the future).”
