LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Planning is underway for high schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District to host their own “safe, socially distanced outdoor graduation ceremonies and offer summer school this year for all students, Superintendent Austin Beutner said today.
Starting next week, the district will deploy mobile coronavirus vaccination teams over a period of about two weeks to about 250 school sites to get as many shots into students arms as possible, Beutner said.
“Ninety percent of people on a school campus at any point in time are children. Herd immunity won t be reached in schools or in the broader community until children are vaccinated, Beutner said about the district, which serves almost 650,000 students in schools spread across 710 square miles. Of those students, almost 300,000 are ages 12 and older who are now eligible for the vaccine.
