Los Angeles schools are still closed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Pediatrics, they believe that schools should re-open immediately because the harms of keeping children out of school outweigh the risks of safely and carefully managed classrooms. The American Academy of Pediatrics stated "A large majority of the 1.5 million students in Los Angeles County has not been physically in a classroom in nearly a year. This sad consequence of the pandemic should be addressed immediately with the reopening of schools. "
They believe that with the right measures, campuses will be able to operate with an acceptable degree of safety.
