Day 67
Good Morning,
I have added some updated information for the county of San Diego below to help guide you with activities as we go into Memorial Day weekend.

SDCCS Device Return
If students are returning next year, we are ok for students to keep the device until they return back to school.
If they are not returning to SDCCS or they are graduating, they should return the school issued devices back to the school after Friday June 5th, 2020. Someone will be in the office to receive SDCCS devices between 8:30 and 12:00 Monday through Friday.
If a family does not anticipate using the device for learning activities, they can turn it in to ensure it does not get lost or damaged.
If you have any questions, please contact Andy Yen at andy@sdccs.org.
A major blow to college entrance exams
The University of California system plans to eliminate the SAT and ACT as requirements for applying to its 10 schools. The decision could accelerate the decline of standardized testing, which critics say put poor, black and Latino students at a disadvantage.
But it’s not clear who will benefit from the change: A task force commissioned by the University of California found that the tests often gave a leg up to low-income and minority applicants who might have been rejected based on grades alone.
Will CA enforce stay-at-home order?
As California heads into Memorial Day weekend, tensions are rising along with the temperature.
Although this week Gov. Gavin Newsom significantly relaxed reopening requirements, clearing 42 of 58 counties to reopen dine-in restaurants and malls, for many it wasn’t enough. An increasing number of businesses and counties are taking a page out of Elon Musk’s playbook, reopening on their own schedules and daring authorities to come after them.
