The Los Angeles Unified School District said Monday it will fully reopen classrooms in the fall, with a remote option for some families. The news followed New York City’s announcement that schools will open in full in September with no remote option. Officials in both cities cited rising COVID vaccination rates and plummeting case rates for the planned return to in-person learning. The United States is reporting its lowest rate of coronavirus infections in nearly a year — with just over 25,000 new cases reported Monday.
