There’s been a LOT of angst about schools reopening in the fall.  A lot of families are demanding their kids be in a classroom all day, five days a week - and it appears that’s where things are headed across most public school districts. The thing is ...not everybody DOES want that. There are still concerns about the virus, but there’s OTHER issues that have come up during this year of zoom school. Of 500 Los Angeles Unified parents surveyed, 96 were black….and of that number, a little less than half of them said they did not send their kids back to school this SPRING because they were “concerned about bullying, racism, and low academic standards for Black children at school.”

Black Families' Concerns on Return to In-Person School

California is in a drought -- again. LAist’s new show How to LA explores what more Angelenos can do to preserve water. It won't be easy, but we meet up with one long-time resident who shows us how it's possible. Follow How to LA; the show aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.
