Every school system has the authority to decide how far to go when reopening elementary campuses — and how soon. Before any campus can reopen the district must have a detailed safety plan filed with the state and county — health authorities have seven days to raise objections. Elementary schools can reopen because the coronavirus infection rate has been below an adjusted rate of 25 daily cases per 100,000 residents for five consecutive days. For middle and high schools to reopen, rates must fall to seven cases or below per 100,000. Stuart Waldman, who has three girls in elementary school in nearby Manhattan Beach wants schools to fully reopen soon.
