L.A. schools to reopen in April in union deal
[NFA] Public schools in Los Angeles are set to reopen starting in April, after a teachers' union approved a plan for physical and hybrid return to classes.
Los Angeles public schools are set to reopen in April… after a teachers' union approved a plan for a mix of in-person classes and virtual learning for the second-largest school district in the United States.
More than a year after the novel coronavirus prompted widespread school closures across the United States, many schools have had to teach students remotely.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been aiming to reopen in-person education for millions of public school students without sparking coronavirus outbreaks.
The Los Angeles Unified School District – which covers more than half a million students - tentatively plans for physical classes to restart at elementary and preschools by mid-April, while grades 7-12 are scheduled to return by about the end of April.
Under the agreement, elementary teachers will be expected to teach from their classrooms unless they have a verified medical reason to stay remote.
Middle- and high-school teachers will teach most classes virtually.
The union said the district was also considering using outdoor tents for exceptionally large class sizes.
This news comes after new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said masked students could safely learn three feet apart - down from the previously-recommended six feet.
The teachers' union said this change would not impact the agreement or its other safety measures - which include personal protective equipment, improved ventilation, daily cleaning and disinfection.

US authorities boosted Trump's security weeks ago due to an Iranian plot, unrelated to the recent Pennsylvania attack. Despite enhanced measures, questions arise about how the gunman got so close. The incident prompts a Biden-ordered review and Congressional probes into the Secret Service. Iranian threats against Trump and former officials persist since Soleimani's 2020 assassination.

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy
made the declaration in a new advisory released on June 25, CNN reports.
It is the first time that a surgeon general
has focused on gun violence's "profound consequences" in a national publication. .
Over the last decade or two,
this problem has been worsening and we
have now reached the point where gun violence is the leading cause of death among kids and teens – the leading cause of death. , Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
That is something that we should
never take as the new normal.
There’s nothing normal about that, Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
According to Murthy, the advisory is intended to take the polarizing issue of firearms "out of the realm of politics and put it into the realm of public health, which is where it belongs.".

Historically, we have seen how the
release of Surgeon General reports on
public health issues such as the dangers
of smoking ignited a wave of policy,
legal, and public health initiatives.., Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
... that saved countless American
lives and in this case led to
deprogramming our nation from
the tobacco industry’s lies. , Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
We hope this report will have
the same resounding impact on
the gun violence epidemic, Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
In 2022, over 48,000 people in America died from gun-related injuries, according to CDC data.
In the new advisory, Dr. Murthy said, "It is up to
us to take on this generational challenge with
the urgency and clarity the moment demands.".
The safety and well-being

e-cigarette products, manufactured by only three
companies, to be marketed and sold to consumers
