California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that all public and private schools in counties on the state’s Covid-19 watchlist must operate remotely this fall. More than 30 counties are on the list, including most counties in the Bay Area. We’ll discuss how districts are planning for remote instruction and what it will take for schools to resume in-person learning safely. And we want to hear from you: what questions or concerns do you have about remote instruction in your district?  If your kids are learning from home, how have you adapted?
