Los Angeles to Fully Reopen Classrooms in the Fall, with Remote Learning Options
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Los Angeles Unified School District said Monday it will fully reopen
classrooms in the fall, with a remote option for some families. The news
followed New York City's announcement that schools will open in full in
September with no remote option. Officials in both cities cited rising
COVID vaccination rates and plummeting case rates for the planned return
to in-person learning. The United States is reporting its lowest rate of
coronavirus infections in nearly a year - with just over 25,000 new
cases reported Monday.
