School closures: L.A. Unified mobilizes to feed hungry kids despite coronavirus

More than 85% of school districts in California have been closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, including the top 25 largest districts serving millions of students. Teachers in most closed schools are trying to continue instruction through online coursework and extended homework assignments. L.A. Unified also has partnered with PBS SoCal to provide expanded educational programming.

Most, if not all, of the locations are expected to be drive-throughs, where passengers will remain in their cars. Volunteer workers will slide food packages across a table into an open car window, said teachers union president Alex Caputo-Pearl, who has briefed his members on the process. One training site for workers on Tuesday was taking place at Liechty Middle School near downtown, where L.A. schools Supt. Austin Beutner had scheduled a Tuesday afternoon visit to see preparations in progress.The district said it does not know how many people will show up for meals. The school district typically serves a million meals a day.

Bless the little ones hearts. Just melted seeing that picture.

Little Rock School District thankfully did the same thing.
