My Statement on the Killing of George Floyd
Huntington Beach, CA-As an 24-year educator, a teacher of African American children, and a human being who is disturbed by the unjust killing of a man, George Floyd, begging to breathe, I won’t stay silent. The safety of my students, your children, will always be my number one priority.

Singer, Kropke and Clayton-Tarvin: Orange County, the COVID Wild West?
Santa Ana, CA-Orange County, the COVID Wild West? Another Op Ed, co-written this time by fellow school trustees, OVSD’s Vice President Patricia Singer, Brea Olinda USD’s Clerk Keri Kropkeand myself. We wonder why the Orange County Supervisors have not included anyone from the educational community as part of the County’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy planning team. Parents can’t work if kids aren’t in quality childcare. Supervisor Don Wagner and Supervisor Michelle Steel have not only told county business owners they can ignore health and safety code and violate State and health directives, but that Sherif Don Barnes to not turn a blind eye to enforcement. Why the lawlessness? Is this how a civilized society operates? Read our bipartisan article about a path to reopening OC safely in Phase 2, to be guided by science and not political folly.

Voice of OC-CA Gov. Newsom Forced Beach Closures in Orange County Stirs Local Partisanship
Santa Ana, CA-Briceño took aim at county supervisors, highlighting that “Orange County has consistently lagged behind Los Angeles County and San Diego County in COVID-19 testing, homelessness services, and protections for essential workers. Until April 21, Orange County was the sole county jurisdiction in Southern California not to issue a mandatory countywide face mask order, until pressure by the Democratic Party of Orange County and a bipartisan petition and public pressure campaign led by Ocean View School District President Gina Clayton-Tarvin spurred the Board to approve face masks in a more limited use than surrounding counties,” Briceño wrote.

Video-Recap of Week's events with Irvine Commissioner Lauren Johnson-Norris
Irvine, CA-Watch Instagram "live" interview with Commissioner Lauren Johnson-Norris. Thank you to attorney and Irvine Commissioner Lauren Johnson-Norris for inviting me into her interview "studio" aka your backyard to recap this week's events and advocacy outcomes. OVSD Trustee John Briscoe and I were honored to lead a bipartisan movement including a petition and Op Ed in the Voice of OC to inspire change in Orange County to require essential workers to wear face coverings. These coverings will help to protect the workers themselves and residents. These heroic essential workers interface on a daily basis while working in restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies and other essential retain stores. Get involved, take action, and compel change in the community.

Voice of OC-Clayton-Tarvin and Briscoe: Feckless OC Supervisors Expose Essential Workers to COVID19
Huntington Beach, CA-OC Board of Supervisors, take action now. OVSD Trustee John Briscoe and I can see past differences in political ideology when it comes to the health and safety of children. In a bipartisan fashion, we demand that the OC Board of Supervisors take a vote to require all frontline essential workers in food service, grocery stores, and other essential workers be required to wear facial coverings. Many teens work in essential positions and must be protected. Please read our Op Ed to help advocate for Orange County to come into alignment with every other county in Southern CA. We must get back to our lives, but can only do so with mitigations like face coverings in place. Click link to article to learn more, and please see imbedded petition link to sign today.

EMERGENCY ACTION NEEDED TODAY
Santa Ana, CA-Today the Orange County Board of Supervisors is meeting.

Viruses have no borders, so please sign my petition today to send this message to OC Supervisors. Please click link above to sign the petition, act today.
*All surrounding counties: LA, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino have already issued orders.

ORANGE COUNTY CORONAVIRUS: Will OC Grocery Store Workers be Required to Wear Masks?
Santa Ana, CA-Here we go again, having to suffer the reckless misdirection and lack of leadership by OC Supervisor Michelle Steel. At an official meeting of the Board of Supervisors, she has refused to even allow discussion on an agenda item by a fellow supervisor to enact an order to require all food service and grocery store workers in the County to wear face coverings while at work during the COVID19 outbreak. All surrounding counties have enacted such measures, yet she fiddles while OC becomes riddled with new Coronavirus infections. This shouldn’t surprise anyone though, just days ago, she tweeted that county residents (in opposition to the CA Stay at Home Order) can gather in groups of 10, and only the old and sick should stay home. She is OUT OF CONTROL and a danger to our health and safety. Her actions are a dereliction of duty and could result in loss of life. Please take action NOW by emailing the Board of Supervisors for which Steel is Chairperson at: response@ocgov.com. Demand that the Board of Supervisors take action to get an order in place immediately. Also, see link to a form in comments below if you choose to contact the Board of Supervisors that way. Please note, you must demand in your email that you want your correspondence forwarded directly to the Board. It is their job to protect your health and safety!

OVSD-Letter from Dr. Hansen on School Closures
April 1, 2020
Parent Update #13 - Distance Learning To Continue Through The End Of The School Year
Dear OVSD Parents,
I’d like to provide you with an important update. Although we just announced an extension of our school closures yesterday, there have been new developments in this very fluid situation. Today, Governor Gavin Newsom and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced an expectation that Distance Learning continue through the end of the school year. This is part of the statewide effort to flatten the curve and reduce the spread of COVID-19 as the number of hospital cases is expected to surge in May.
In consultation with Board of Trustees’ President Gina Clayton-Tarvin, we have made the determination to close OVSD school campuses through the end of the school year. To be clear, the 2019-20 school year is not over, we are just transitioning from classroom instruction to Distance Learning. We will now focus all of our efforts on delivering the most robust and effective Distance Learning possible for our students. The good news is that we are already on our way! We had a great launch to our Distance Learning today, and we have created a solid foundation for this exciting, new method of teaching and learning to flourish.
We remain committed to ensuring students and families are supported during this challenging time, including continuing to provide free Grab-N-Go meals for children in need.
Please stay tuned, as we expect to receive additional guidance this week from the California Department of Education, as more details become available.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carol Hansen
Superintendent

March 3rd just is around the corner!
Huntington Beach, CA-The 2020 Primary Election is just around the corner and ballots have dropped, they are in the mail and ready to go. I’m voting for Harley Rouda, not just because he’s a champion for public education here in CA48 but because he’s a leader in the House of Reps itself. He’s the most legislatively productive freshman Congressman of all time. His record is unmatched and for once our district is seeing our federal tax dollars return. That means everything to me. We are taxed at some of the highest rates in the nation and after 30 years of inaction we finally have a representative who cares about us. Check your mailbox, get to a vote center either before or on March 3, 2020, mark that ballot for re-election of Harley Rouda, successful businessman and House Member. The future of our nation depends on it!d your news summary here.

Observing the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
Washington DC-One of the most inspired days of my life was to visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington DC. MLK is by far the most important figure in the Civil Rights Movement in our nation and one of most inspirational humans to ever live. As a teacher himself, King believed deeply in the power of education.
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”-MLK

Santa Ana, CA-During Monday’s hearing, Associate Justice Richard Aronson said he was “at a loss to understand how the lower court denied the harassment petition.” “‘Be quiet or be killed,’” Aronson said, reading aloud from court documents. “I’m kind of curious why [Johnson] wasn’t arrested.” His honor continued on in rebuttal to Johnson’s attorney’s claims of threats being politics as usual, “Do you think threatening to kill someone is political debate?” Aronson said. “Is that what we’ve come to in this country?” (click link to read full article)
