Charlie is Your Calaveras County Animal Services Pet of the Week & Social Distancing Buddy
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/01/2020 02:14 PM
San Andreas, CA...Meet Charlie, a Bichon Poodle mix estimated to be between 3 and 4 years of age. Weighing just over 17 pounds, Charlie is the perfect size for a smaller home and travel. A friendly fellow with excellent leash manners, Charlie very much enjoys his walks and the opportunity to explore. He likes attention and was exceptionally tolerant of a lengthy grooming and bath (though we’re sure you can tell he could use a bit more in that department). Charlie also plays happily with other small dogs, both male and female. His one issue is that he guards his food so a home without young children is a must. Someone who could help Charlie learn to feel more secure and work with him to modify this behavior would be ideal.

State Superintendent Tony Thurmond on 2019-20 School Year Amid Current School Safety Concerns
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/01/2020 02:33 PM
Sacramento, CA...State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond released a statement Tuesday regarding the 2019-20 school year. “Due to the current safety concerns and needs for ongoing social distancing, it currently appears that our students will not be able to return to school campuses before the end of the school year. In order to allow schools to plan accordingly, and to ensure that learning still occurs until the end of the school year, we are suggesting that schools plan and prepare to have their curriculum carried out through a distance learning model. This is in no way to suggest that school is over for the year, but rather we should put all efforts into strengthening our delivery of education through distance learning.
