INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) Vaccinations for teachers in Los Angeles County have started, bringing more schools closer to reopening.
A mass vaccination site specifically for educators has opened at So-Fi Stadium in Inglewood, in addition to three other school-based sites. Los Angeles Unified School District, which has said teachers must be vaccinated before schools reopen, is offering teachers free transportation to SoFi.
Not just teachers, but all school staff - custodians, bus drivers and others - are now eligible for vaccination in Los Angeles County, along with frontline workers and first responders.
It is better here with my friends than socializing at home, said Alley Largaespada. Are you learning as much this way? we asked Dominik Ferrucci. No, he said.
They have gathered five days a week since August, attending classes from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. They work together, lunch together, play together, and even have PE together experiences their parents try to make as normal as possible in these strange times. I think it is absurd, said Alley s dad, Carlos Largaespada. We are the only state where our kids can t go to school. Can t play sports. The social element for them is detrimental. Getting up in the morning to look at a computer screen? That sucks.
