Gov. Newsom didn’t mention it in his hour-long press conference, but new state guidelines banning in-school instruction in counties on a monitoring list for coronavirus infections includes a waiver provision that could exempt elementary schools.

Other county superintendents reported getting many questions about possible waivers over the weekend.
