Although at the elementary education level many schools are resuming their face-to-face activities in Southern California county, in the case of Los Angeles Community Colleges, it won’t.
In a statement signed by the rector of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), Francisco Rodríguez, the educational agency communicates its decision to continue the current semester without considering the possibility of returning to classrooms.
“The best experts in the field of health agree that we are far from a full recovery without a vaccine or effective treatment”, States the LACCD statement.
In the letter he also assures that the decision is because the public health emergency at the national, state and local level is maintained.
“For the remainder of the year, LACCD will primarily provide online education to meet the winter 2020 and spring 2021 class schedule”States the statement.
However, the LACCD made clear that it will continue to work hand in hand with the Los Angeles County Health Department to provide limited access to face-to-face classes for some careers They provide the human capital necessary for essential activities.
This exception could include nursing students, electricians, respiratory therapists among others.
