Despite the spike in COVID-19 cases, Burbank schools will welcome students back to classrooms Monday morning.
During an emergency meeting Sunday night, the Burbank Unified School District Board of Education decided not to delay the start date - which means classes will return to school Monday morning as planned.
The board heard from teachers, parents and students, most of whom said they favored a return to school with no delay, but only those physically in attendance were able to speak. There were no call-in comments during Sunday's meeting. The board said they will explore COVID testing for all students, surgical masks for staff members, and mask requirements for everyone, including a rule that would require students, teachers and staff to wear the face coverings outdoors.
