Ashley Pearce’s child was ready to start
kindergarten last year in Maryland’s Montgomery County public school system. But when she learned the year would begin online, Pearce sent her daughter to a private Catholic school nearby. It was offering in-person classes.
Now Pearce is debating whether her daughter should return to the local public school. She is unsure of moving after her daughter made friends at the Catholic school. She is also worried the school would go back online if coronavirus cases increase again.

LA County to reopen indoor dining, movie theaters as soon as Monday
Los Angeles County, once the epicenter of the pandemic, may soon open up indoor dining, movie theaters and gyms even as soon as after this weekend.
The county could move to the red tier in California s tier-based system as early as Monday if the state reaches its goal of administrating 2 million vaccine doses to residents in its disadvantaged areas which appears likely to happen on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Times. The county released its reopening plans, including indoor dining at the state-authorized capacity of 25% and reopening of retail at 50%.
