for in-person education this month -- but one superintendent in the Los Angeles area has come up with a plan to welcome some students back to class. And it doesn't involve their teachers.

Superintendent Vivian Ekchian said she came up with the idea after noticing that many young children of essential workers didn't have proper childcare when schools were forced to pivot to remote learning in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic. "We know that to many families, this is a disappointing announcement, but it's based on the existing science and data that is guiding all of our decision-making," Los Angeles County Department of Public Health

Ekchian, who has lived in Glendale for 20 years, feels it's her duty to give the community what it needs most during this public health crisis. According to Ekchian, desks will be at least 6 feet apart. Drinking fountains have been turned into hand washing stations. Children will be allowed recess and playtime. But each child will have their own toys and equipment and keep their distance.
