Los Angeles and San Diego schools go online-only for fall - burger - 07-13-2020
Quote:On Monday, Los Angeles and San Diego public schools announced they will be starting the school year remote-only in August as coronavirus cases rise in Southern California.https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/07/13/890475212/los-angeles-and-san-diego-schools-announce-online-only-fall
"The skyrocketing infection rates of the past few weeks make it clear the pandemic is not under control," a joint statement said.
On Sunday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 3,322 new cases of COVID-19 and 18 deaths. Local health department data show a rebound in hospitalizations compared with May.
Los Angeles Unified School District did not detail when, or under what conditions, schools might be able to open for in-person learning, even on a part-time or staggered schedule. San Diego Unified School District promised a "public assessment" by Aug. 10 of how soon they might return to physical classes.
Good. I expect a lot of other districts will feel emboldened to do the same now.

A lack of courage, will and creativity. There are ways that schools may be available for those kids that desperately need it. I’m certain creative minds could come up with solutions.
This will have a disproportionate impact on the poor. And especially upon poor Hispanic and blacks. One size doesn’t fit all.
