LAUSD announces plans to open 25 school-based COVID vaccine clinics in hard-hit communities
By Shelly Insheiwat
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Unified School District is doing something new.
They are administering their own vaccine programs for community members at school sites. It s not for teachers, but for those who live in hard-hit communities.
Superintendent Austin Beutner announced Monday that the LAUSD will open 25 school-based vaccination centers to serve school families starting this week.
The first two will open on April 6th at Washington Preparatory and Lincoln High Schools in collaboration with St. John’s Well Child and Family Center.
According to the statement, St. John’s will provide the doses of vaccine and the clinical staff to administer the shots while Los Angeles Unified will oversee the outreach to the school community and provide operational support at the school sites.
Remaining elementary schools and early education centers will open the week of April 19, and middle and high schools will open the week of April 26.
Reopenings will be rolled out at each school over several days, starting with the youngest students. Kindergarten and first-grade students will return to school April 13; grades 2 and 3 on April 14; and 4th and 5th graders on April 15.
Most of California s 6.1 million students in 1,037 public school districts have been learning from home since last March because of the pandemic. Long Beach, Glendale, Downey and Manhattan Beach unified school districts are among those ahead of LAUSD, already welcoming back some students earlier this month, with most schools operating on a limited schedule and prioritizing the youngest students.
