By Nicoda Adams

Garth Lewis serves as the Yolo County Superintendent of Schools. He was elected to this position in 2018. Over the course of his 23-year career in K-12 education, Superintendent Lewis has served as a para-educator, teacher, site and district administrator, and Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services and Equity at the Yolo County Office of Education. Listen in as Yolo County Office of Education Superintendent Garth Lewis considers equitable education during a pandemic and the possibility of a Yolo County Master Plan for Youth.

During this episode, there is mention about the “equity metric” that California governor Gavin Newsom was on track to approve. This has been delayed pending further discussion. Again, we thank you for your grace and mercy during these fast-changing times.
