Show Notes

San Diego is now officially off the state’s coronavirus watch list but what that means for local businesses remains to be seen. Plus, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill by Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego) that requires all students at California State University to take an ethnic studies course to graduate. Also, California’s power grid manager is in the hot seat after calling for the first rolling blackouts since 2001. In addition, as the new school year starts during the pandemic, the question of how to discipline students who are attending classes virtually is a challenge for teachers and administrators. And, many nursing homes are ill prepared for wildfire disasters, we examine the regulations that are supposed to protect residents. Finally, La Jolla Music Society Summer Fest is back — the musicians will be live but the audience will be virtual.
