L.A. school officials call an emergency meeting, increasing speculation of a district wide closure.
Los Angeles school officials have called an emergency 7 a.m. closed-door meeting Friday, increasing speculation that a district-wide shutdown is imminent. So far, no coronavirus cases have been linked to L.A. schools, which have remained open amid the widening pandemic.
While health officials have supported the district’s decision to keep schools operating, an increasing number of schools districts throughout California and the nation have announced closures including San Francisco Unified, several unified districts in Ventura County including Simi Valley, Moorpark and Oak Park. Also the governors in four states — Ohio, Maryland, New Mexico and Michigan — ordered the closing of all public schools.
L.A. Unified on Wednesday announced that all gatherings of groups would be canceled until further notice — curtailing events from the prom to the academic decathlon. And sports events would continue, if at all, without spectators.LAUSD enrolls about half a million students, eight in 10 of whom rely on free or reduced-price lunches and 18,000 of whom are homeless.“They’re relying on us for meals, for child care,” school board member Nick Melvoin said Thursday afternoon.
Beutner said the service would be available to other school systems as needed and he welcomed their collaboration to make it better.Las Virgenes Unified, for example, will close for two days next week for “staff in-service time to prepare for the likelihood of a district-wide closure,” the district’s Supt. Dan Stepenosky said in a letter to families Thursday.
