MyTurn.California.Gov<\/a>.<\/p>\nOakley said it is a lot easier to get a vaccine today than it was a month ago.<\/p>\n
Many UCs and CSUs will require students, staff and faculty to be vaccinated in order to be able to step foot on campus while community colleges are still deciding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are encouraging our districts to ensure that all faculty and staff are vaccinated and to strongly encourage our students to get it as well,\u201d Oakley said.<\/p>\n
A bill is making its way through the legislature and Congress to provide more financial aid to community college students.<\/p>\n
\u201cAB 1456 will change the Cal Grant Program so that there are no more GPA verification requirements, no time at a high school and age requirements and a new application deadline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The bill will also provide $108.5 million toward the Calfresh Benefits Program aimed at students who are struggling with their financial situation.<\/p>\n
Oakley said the changes with the Cal Grant will increase eligibility, thus leading to a 300% increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood news from D.C, the Biden Administration will be investing into families like yours,\u201d Oakley said.<\/p>\n
The American Families Plan is a $1.8 trillion plan. The plan\u2019s goal is to expand the access of higher education in the country, reduce the cost of childcare and provide more worker protections.<\/p>\n
“Having students and staff being aware of the American Families Plan will help Congress recognize the benefits the plan will have among community colleges and the students, ” Oakley said.\u00a0\u201cThey include $100 and $9 billion to offer two years of free community college to all Americans.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
