L.A. Unified will offer a website so that anyone can find out the coronavirus infections at a school or even a child's classroom.

San Diego County has gotten the green light to reopen schools, and Orange County officials believe they’ll soon be allowed to follow. But the picture on a school district level is far more complicated.

As of Monday, schools in Los Angeles County are permitted to open to serve small groups of students with special needs, such as students with disabilities and students learning English. But the process for bringing students back involves extensive safety measures and negotiations with employee groups, notably the teachers union. And most public schools in the county’s 80 districts do not appear ready to bring back immediately any groups of students for instruction.

As part of the ramp up, L.A. Unified on Thursday and Friday tested more than 5,000 staff members and their children. Seven tests came back positive, six adults and one child, he said Monday.Beutner added that, over the next several weeks, all staff and students will be provided with an initial, baseline test. After this, “there will be periodic testing based on advice from epidemiologists” at Stanford, UCLA and Johns Hopkins.
