The Santa Monica Malibu School District superintendent says kinks are being worked out in the system that is schooling 1400 Malibu kids at home.
Superintendent Ben Drati says “we have entered uncharted territory with distance learning,
“but we are tackling this head on with intention and the goal of favorable student outcomes.”
The district plans to deploy laptops and wifi connectivity to all students who may need it.
Drati says ensuring that all of our students have a device enhances our staff’s ability to deliver curriculum more effectively. If your student needs a device for home use, please notify your school, or take the survey that applies:

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has ordered all gun shops closed and sales halted during the coronavirus pandemic unless the buyers are police or security personnel.
This is according to the Los Angeles Times.
Villanueva said he sought to implement the closure earlier this week but was told by county lawyers that gun shops could be considered essential under county and state measures to encourage social distancing and cut the spread of the virus.
The opinion forced the sheriff to backtrack and suspend the closure.
But then Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said he would let sheriffs make those determinations.
And the sheriff has ordered them closed.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is warning that scammers are using Facebook …. emails and phone calls to try to rip people off as the federal government coronavirus financial checks are sent out.
Fraud detectives warn that the federal government will not ask you to pay any fees or up front charges to receive these benefits.
The government will not call to ask for anyones Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number.
Anyone who asks for that is a scammer.
Issuing checks has not yet become a reality.
Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.
And the most important point … government agencies do not communicate through social media.
Be wary of unsolicited messages.
