The billboard looked similar to an Amber Alert and read \u201cmissing all California students, last seen on March 13, 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The board was put up by a group of local advocates in Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco along California\u2019s famous Highway 101. Its message split residents as some agreed with the push to return to in-person learning and others thought the wording went too far.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An electronic billboard along Highway 101 in Rohnert Park that went up last weekend reading &#8220;Missing All CA Students, last seen 3\/13\/2020&#8221; has become instantly controversial. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rReTxkOXVm\">https:\/\/t.co\/rReTxkOXVm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wYFGK6wUGU\">pic.twitter.com\/wYFGK6wUGU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ABC7 News (@abc7newsbayarea) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abc7newsbayarea\/status\/1361626402529886210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Sonoma County School District superintendent said it\u2019s difficult to get schools prepared for in-person learning. However, some schools could hold in-person classes for grades K-6 starting early March with an approved COVID-19 safety plan.<\/p>\n<p>As coronavirus cases in California declined, the potential to reopen became a possibility although much of the state remained under strict lockdown orders. This week, Los Angeles County hit the threshold to allow elementary schools to <a href=\"https:\/\/schools.covid19.ca.gov\/\">reopen<\/a> after the transmission rate hit 25 cases or less for every 100,000 people in the county.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LA County has officially reached the State&#8217;s threshold for reopening elementary schools.<\/p>\n<p>Starting tomorrow, schools can reopen for grades K-6 if they have a waiver or submitted their COVID Safety Plans in advance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Janice Hahn (@SupJaniceHahn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SupJaniceHahn\/status\/1361473954473381888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is unclear, however, if doors will reopen as some districts said they don\u2019t think they should return to in-person learning until teachers and staff are vaccinated. In Los Angeles County, teachers and those under 65-years-old are not currently eligible to receive the vaccination yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking schools a priority also means vaccinations for all who work in schools,\u201d Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner said. \u201cCalifornia is providing vaccinations for cannabis delivery drivers, but not school bus drivers and teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parents in Los Angeles made their voices heard while caravaning through downtown Los Angeles this week, demanding schools be reopened. On Monday, reports said the new CDC guidance would keep many schools in the state closed.<\/p>\n<p>According to critics, the fact the CDC used transmission rates to determine the guidelines ignored data, which showed students are safer in schools where they can follow safety procedures.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) said he was still working to reach a reopening deal with legislators and school groups. Last week, he indicated that a deal could be reached, but called negotiations \u201cstubborn\u201d and said there was \u201cstill work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-group-launches-legislative-blitz-on-biden-china\/\">GOP Group Launches Legislative Blitz On Biden-China Policies<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2181210,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1231222643-1-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Anti-lockdown billboard in Calif. stirs controversy as state moves closer to reopening schools","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1231222643-1-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Anti-lockdown billboard in Calif. stirs controversy as state moves closer to reopening schools","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2181210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
