A tentative agreement reached Tuesday between the teachers union and the L.A. Unified School District offers the clearest framework yet for reopening campuses for students in elementary, middle and high schools.

The agreement, which must be ratified by members, establishes safety parameters for a return to campus and lays out a markedly different schedule, which still relies heavily on online learning. The school day would unfold under a so-called hybrid format — meaning students would conduct their studies on campus during part of the week and continue with their schooling online at other times.
Timing
Although the union has not yet signed off on the exact date of return, the school district is aiming to restart elementary schools on April 19.
