No school in L.A. County will be allowed to reopen until at least November, but all campuses can host small in-person classes for students with special needs as long as no more than 10% of students are on campus at a time.
No campus in Los Angeles County will be allowed to reopen to all K-12 students until at least November, although schools can still offer small in-person classes for students with special needs at no more than 10% of capacity at one time, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday.
Ferrer explained the county’s new policies in a call Thursday with school district leaders. The Times was able to listen to the briefing.As Ferrer explained, the county’s approach is part of a multi-pronged state and county effort related to opening schools safely. Students can meet one-on-one with a teacher or another staff member or in groups as large as 12 with as many as two adult supervisors or teachers.A campus cannot be at more than 10% of capacity at any given time. However, there is no defined limit on how many students can be served over multiple days. For example, one group of students could be served on campus two days a week and another group on a different two days.
