Hews Media Group-Los Cerritos Community News has exclusively learned that the ABC Unified School District Board will be meeting, likely on Friday, to vote on whether or not to close their schools for the fall.
The ABCUSD has 19 elementary, 5 middle, and 5 high schools along with an Adult School and pre-school in Cerritos, Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens and Lakewood.
The district boasts over 20,000 K-12 students, 10,000 adult school students, and over 3,500 employees.
Los Angeles and San Diego school districts, which together enroll some 825,000 students, two days ago abandoned plans for even a partial physical return to classrooms.
I’m 100% sure ABC will vote to close schools because it’s the easiest and popular movement across the country. There are solutions but teachers failed our children. This is so political driven, it’s sickening!! Movement toward socialism at it best! Keeping children uneducated is so wrong! Healthcare and grocery workers are serving their community without complaints and teachers doesn’t want to return to classrooms! Stop using our children as an excuse for your selfish fear! Children are among the healthiest individuals!
