In addition, the county provides services to residents, including centers for COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, and distribution of home test kits and other supplies. Lamorinda is within county supervisorial District 2, represented by supervisor Candace Andersen. Updates on COVID are processed almost daily by the county.
As of Jan. 13, for example, the county published updated information for schools and childcare facilities. County health pointed out that, despite the concerns about children being in the classroom during a pandemic, the risk at school is actually lower than the risk outside of school.
Updated guidelines from the state set forth the requirements for isolation and quarantine for K-12 settings.

Scott Parker for Mayor of Moraga
I've lived in Moraga for nine years now and I love and appreciate so many things about the community and the people that live here. That said, when you compare us to the neighboring towns that comprise Lamorinda, it's not hard to see why Moraga feels like it's stuck in third place in the 1980's.
For the last nine years, I've heard the
same issues confront the town that, year
after year, go unaddressed. The same
storm...
Acts of Kindness

Last summer the girls...
