Many CSU students faced food insecurity during COVID-19 shutdowns after being laid off and the university aims to help with day-to-day needs in order to keep students enrolled. Due to pandemic-related restrictions, students register online and then pick up bags of groceries at the pantry with only a limited number of people allowed to visit the food pantry at one time.

Eighteen months later, the school superintendent sought to increase a police presence in schools in light of a rise in fights among students. Reform advocates accused the district of failing to follow through with effective alternatives to the punitive responses to discipline problems.
