Los Angeles school district to start year online as COVID-19 cases rise

The Trump administration said it would no longer require international students to attend in-person classes during the coronavirus pandemic in order to remain in the country.

The policy reversal came after at least twenty states opposed the decision and universities led by Harvard and MIT challenged it in court. But the wider debate reopening schools still continues to divide much of the population.

In light of recent surges in COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles, the nation’s largest school district announced it would stick to online learning. While many other counties and individuals schools will be opening schools as usual.
