California Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer says school closures 'not based on science'

School closures in California due to the coronavirus pandemic are "not based on science," Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer tells Fox News.
"There is no reason why California should be the last state to open our public schools," former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who hopes to run against Newsom in a recall election later this year, told Fox News. "There is absolutely no valid excuse." Faulconer says it's Newsom "who has allowed this to happen," which points to "a failure of leadership and allowing this to happen not based on science." Newsom introduced a plan in March incentivizing schools to reopen by April. The state has 1,037 public school districts, but most of those that have opened have adopted a hybrid learning model rather than a completely in-person learning model.More Related News
