Despite the spike in COVID-19 cases, Burbank schools will welcome students back to classrooms Monday morning.

During an emergency meeting Sunday night, the Burbank Unified School District Board of Education decided not to delay the start date - which means classes will return to school Monday morning as planned.

The board heard from teachers, parents and students, most of whom said they favored a return to school with no delay, but only those physically in attendance were able to speak. There were no call-in comments during Sunday's meeting. The board said they will explore COVID testing for all students, surgical masks for staff members, and mask requirements for everyone, including a rule that would require students, teachers and staff to wear the face coverings outdoors.

No fucks giving ..

Absolutely idiotic. They took no comments from anyone who was not physically in attendence. I heard omicron is an R10 variant, people... R TEN!!! Do people not understand the significance of that? Talk about a total disregard for the community's health.

THE BIOTECH CORONAVIRUS STILL AMONG US SO DO NOT CLOWN AROUND

Seems contradictory to the favored political narrative

I can't believe burbank school district is allowing all to go back in person when most college will be online. Kids are vulnerable because a lot of them can't be vaccinated under age 5.

These people don’t care about children’s health. They just want money and the parents just don’t wanna be parents and take care of their kids

Please report a follow up story in 2 weeks with data since some folks still think kids are immune - not to mention all the teachers and staff impacted.

Good for them!👏

Stunning how little value we place on kids well being while the rest of the country does the opposite.

so stupid to even think delaying a week is going to make a difference.
