Los Angeles schools unlikely to reopen before January

Los Angeles Unified schools are unlikely to open before January, and may not open even then, according to two school board leaders who spoke with the Los Angeles Times.

The leaders said rising Covid-19 cases make it unsafe for many schools to reopen. They also cited the difficulty of changing instruction from distance learning to in-person mid-semester and the logistics of implementing safety procedures, in addition to the fact that some teachers have health conditions that put them at higher risk of complications from the coronavirus.
