The CoronaVirus, also known by its official name Covid-19, has been detected in California, with an especially concerning development of 12 cases now having tested positive in Tulare County. Guidelines and recommendations on hand washing, and social events, have been issued and they have since closed many businesses, cancelled or postponed social gatherings, and affected schools in the Visalia Unified School District, including Ivanhoe Elementary School.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have proposed many conditions to help prevent further spread of the virus, including washing your hands with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds, and that people avoid gatherings of more than 10 people at a time. Schools are most definitely affected by all of these guidelines, in ways that have caused leaders to effectively shut down all schools in the state, possibly until the next school year, leaving many parents wondering what is going to happen to their children\u2019s education.<\/span><\/p>\n Students may be rejoicing over this decision, but they are not completely in the clear. The push for more technology in the classroom may have a dampening effect on their elation, because it appears that school leaders are searching for ways to still deliver quality education, as directed by California\u2019s Governor Newsom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
