Redondo Beach Unified School District third, fourth and fifth graders are on track to return to school by March 2, in two groups, with sixth graders quickly to follow, according to a plan reviewed by the school board during its Wednesday Zoom meeting.
On Monday, Supervisor Janice Hahn’s office announced that Los Angeles County has met the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidelines for elementary school reopenings, which require the County to go five consecutive days with fewer than 25 per 100,000 people testing positive for COVID-19.
“You know how this Covid return to school happens?” said Redondo Superintendent Dr. Steven Keller. “You get a random tweet on a Monday that you weren’t expecting, and then you get a firestorm of emails and news reports.”
