Vaccination is a major step forward in overcoming the worldwide pandemic which has taken the lives of more than 600 thousand Americans, about ten percent of them in California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of extraordinary efforts including vaccinations and the subsequent drop in new cases has allowed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/covid19\/\">reopening plan<\/a> to take shape, and in person visitation and programming to resume at DJJ on a facility by facility basis. Mandatory face coverings is now optional in outdoor settings where physical distancing of six feet or more can be maintained. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/covid19\/population-status-tracking\/\">According the CDCR COVID tracker<\/a>, almost half of DJJ staff have received a vaccination at facility sponsored clinics as of May 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In person visitation resumed at DJJ facilities in April, after more than a one year suspension of visitation due to the global pandemic. Heartwarming reunions, complete with hugs, occurred in four three hour sessions held during regular weekend visiting hours, featuring new COVID-19 precautions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both youth and visitors will require a negative test before visitation is allowed. Visitors must provide proof of a negative test taken no longer than 72 hours prior to the visit.&nbsp; Visitors must show a copy of the negative test results when arriving for the visit, at least an hour before scheduled, in order to go through screening processes, which includes a verbal screening process and no touch temperature check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No Covid-19 test result is needed if the visitor can show they are fully vaccinated, with two weeks passing since the final needed vaccination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details for scheduling a visit via email are posted on living units. Additionally details in English and Spanish, including information on obtaining needed tests is on the DJJ internet homepage at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/visiting-during-covid\/\">https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/visiting-during-covid\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an alternative to in person visits, video visits will continue using Microsoft Teams.

It is such a privilege to have the opportunity to collaborate with such talented and creative students. We are grateful for this collaboration to bring culturally rich and diverse stories to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students at VYCF have attended other college classes from Moorpark College and the Ventura Community College District.

Christie, whose enthusiasm as a catalyst for the Kings during their championship run era in the early 2000s, was evident in his up tempo, rhyming broadcast style. Christie \u201ckept it 100\u201d with the youth, and surmised the biggest difference between them was access to opportunities. A few of the youth shared their journeys and plans for the future.

McGowan was a life-long educator, serving the students at the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) since November 1987, when he started as a teacher at the Youth Training School.&nbsp;In 2010, he transferred to the Southern California Youth Correctional Reception Center.&nbsp; In September 2011, he transferred to Ventura Youth Correctional Facility, becoming a critical part of the faculty of Mary B. Perry High School.&nbsp; He retired April 14, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McGowan was one of the original designers of the Ward Information Network, known as WIN. His ability to collect and interpret data, and present this information visually in graphs and charts, was much appreciated. :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was a Svengali of data,\u201d said longtime colleague, Case Work Specialist Karette Fussell. \u201cWith the patience of Job and \u2018Stephen Hawkingesk\u2019 intelligence, Bruce could obtain and graph the most convoluted data, providing staff with the ability to discern trends, respond appropriately to issues, anticipate problems, and develop solutions. He had a kind and gentle energy about him, punctuated with a razor sharp wit and uncanny ability to grasp abstract concepts and with lightening dexterity, operationalize them; opening up a world of understanding, communication and implementation for the rest of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To recognize his commitment to education, the renovated library and multimedia center at the Mary B. Perry High School was renamed in his honor in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBruce was always willing and eager to take on additional assignments and new work in his desire to assist the students and his colleagues.&nbsp;Most importantly, Bruce touched the hearts of everyone that knew him with his willingness to help and gentle demeanor,\u201d wrote DJJ Director Dr. Heather Bowlds. \u201cWhile we will miss Bruce\u2019s physical presence, everyone who knew him will keep a part of Bruce in their hearts.&nbsp;We are thankful to Bruce for all his work, professionalism and friendship.
