On Thursday, 264,000 doses were administered the highest single-day number yet, Newsom said. The only constraint is manufactured supply, Newsom said.
Vaccines have been a sticking point for Los Angeles Unified School District and the labor union, United Teachers Los Angeles, which made it part of its effort to safely reopen schools.

Nothing I’ve written has been more affected by a personal conflict of interest than what you are about to read: My wife and I have three elementary-age children who haven’t seen the inside of a classroom since March 11, 2020. That was the day we decided to stop sending our two second-graders to school, before their district suspended in-person classes, and when we canceled our youngest child’s enrollment at a local preschool.
Like many other children whose campuses have yet to reopen, my kids long ago tired of Zoom school. This isn’t to say they’d jump at the chance to break their new routine and run back into the classroom, but as a parent I’ve seen the worrying effects on children who have not been alive much longer than the 11-plus months of enforced isolation they’ve endured.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) The Los Angeles County Department of Health has given the LA Unified School District the green light to resume in-person classes.
But LAUSD, the largest school district in California, has no plans to resume on-campus instruction in the immediate future. Scientists have said, experts have said, doctors have said, it s time to open schools. I read today Pasadena has opened schools, Calabasas has opened their schools, many cities are opening their schools. Why is LA County lagging? said LAUSD parent Betty Gabbaie.
The Biden administration and the CDC say it’s safe for teachers to return to classrooms before they’re vaccinated. California Governor Gavin Newsom agrees.
