LAUSD parents planning Zoom blackout to call for schools to reopen KABC Share: LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Many Los Angeles Unified computer screens may go dark Monday as parents plan a Zoom blackout to increase pressure on the district to reopen schools. While Los Angeles County has reached the threshold for elementary schools to reopen, LAUSD administrators and the teachers union are advocating for them to stay closed until teachers can be vaccinated. Some parents groups have been holding protests, including a caravan that drove around downtown Los Angeles, and now the Zoom blackout planned Monday. The teachers union arranged its own demonstration over the weekend in support of staying closed, arguing that not only would teachers be at-risk for contracting coronavirus, but many of their students and families would be as well.
