LAUSD reopens after winter break - but thousands of students remain home after positive COVID-19 tests
According to the district, as of 4 p.m. on Monday, 424,230 students and employees have taken a baseline COVID test. Of that group, 65,630 of those tests have come back positive.
Interim Superintendent Megan Reilly said the testing and safety protocols represent a new normal for the district. "LA Unified maintains the highest COVID-19 safety standards of any public school district in the nation," Reilly said."Including weekly testing of all staff and students, universal masking indoors and outdoors."
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who appeared with Reilly at a Sylmar middle school Tuesday, noted that students at schools have access to healthcare resources as well as testing and vaccines.The district still maintains remote learning as an option for students."My son especially has so much trouble with distance learning," she said."Him back on campus - his grades are back up. I wouldn't like the distance learning.
Reilly also said the district has been able to fill a teacher shortage, but staffing for buses remains a problem. Some routes are taking longer than normal and she urged parents to be patient.
