(Sacramento, CA) — Many school district officials in California say they are not applying for two-billion-dollars in grants to help reopen their schools. Governor Gavin Newsom\’s deadline for grant applications is today, but some educators say the program won\’t cover the costs associated with reopening their campuses. The amount of testing, personal protective equipment, and other safety measures needed far exceeds what the grants will pay for. There\’s also concern the new variants of the coronavirus will increase infection rates that far surpass the state\’s reopening requirements.
