OAKLAND – (INT) - New state data shows that the vast majority of California’s school districts have most of their students back in the classroom.

Governor Newsom is trumpeting California’s lead in national trends.

“It’s no coincidence that California is the first state to advance out of the CDC’s ‘high’ transmission category and has the lowest case rates in the entire country. The state’s efforts and resources have made schools among the safest places in our communities,” Newsom said Wednesday.

The state’s new Student Supports & In-Person Dashboard shows nearly 98 percent of schools are expanding mental health, after-school and tutoring programs.
