The Los Angeles Unified School District announced Monday that students would not be returning for in-person classes this fall, after teachers urged the district to keep stay-at-homer orders in place and put an increased focus on improving online learning.
“Unfortunately, COVID-19 continues to spread in the Los Angeles area and the virus is going to impact how we start the new school year,” Superintendent Austin Beutner said in a statement. “While the new school year will begin on August 18th as scheduled, it will not begin with students at school facilities. The health and safety of all in the school community is not something we can compromise.”
