The countdown is on for LAUSD students to get tested for COVID-19 before returning to school on Tuesday, and the district is handing out free test kits to help.
There are around 60 sites around the district distributing those tests, for students to take and then upload results into the LA Unified health portal to return to school on Tuesday.
"I feel safer to go back to school, because when you go to school you have to make sure you’re safe, because you don’t want to get other kids infected," said fourth-grade student Aaliyah Gordon.A district spokesperson told NBC4 that they've received test results from more than half their employees, and about 30% of their students, reporting a 13.5% positivity rate. Those numbers are expected to fluctuate as test results trickle in through Monday.
"I have mixed emotions about it really," said LAUSD parent Lene Reynolds."But you know, we’ve been in the house all this time. We’ll see, you know, hope for the best."
