Governor Newsom has ordered school districts in California counties with elevated coronavirus transmission and hospitalization rates to begin the academic year with distance learning. Schools must remain closed until their county has been off the State’s “watch list” for 14 days.

That means all schools in Orange County — including private and public schools here in Irvine — will begin the 2020-2021 school year online.

Former Irvine Mayor Larry Agran announced his candidacy for a seat on the City Council. For more than three decades, Agran strategically guided the City. A strong proponent of the Irvine Master Plan, Agran established common-sense growth control policies.

And on critical issues that impacted Irvine residents, Agran used his skills as a public interest attorney to draft ballot measures so that Irvine’s voters — not developers — had the final say.

The Finnish software development and design company, Vincit opened offices in Irvine back in 2016.  Since then, they have created customized mobile apps for companies like Yamaha, GE Healthcare, Kellogg’s, and the Irvine Company.

The company has also racked up a lot of awards for being a great place to work.
