The Los Angeles Unified School District has announced that all students and staff, regardless of vaccination status, will have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before they can return to campuses when school resumes next week.
“It’s spreading,” said parent Sophie Sulashvili. “There’s not a single family that’s not sick nowadays.”The first day of the spring semester for students has been pushed back to Tuesday, Jan. 11. Monday will be a “pupil-free day” for campus employees.
“I found out they weren’t testing this weekend,” said parent Tammy Connors. “And that was pretty concerning. Yeah, and I was really upset.”, “keeping our schools safe is a top priority for Los Angeles Unified. We all have a role in keeping our schools safe. Thank you for doing your part. Your feedback and partnership are appreciated. As a united Los Angeles Unified community, we will work together to ensure the safety of our students.
The District strongly recommends that “all students wear well-fitting, non-cloth masks with a nose wire. All employees are required to wear surgical grade masks or higher.”“Vaccinations remain a key element in reducing the impact of COVID-19 on individuals and communities, and will be required for students 12 and older at the start of the Fall 2022 semester.”
