LAUSD’s health screening system fails on first day but can’t snuff out excitement
LA TimesHundreds of thousands of Los Angeles-area students started school Monday, a massive return to in-person education that was marked by pandemic-driven anxiety, a sense of excitement and early-morning frustration over the failure of the district’s health screening system, which caused long waits to enter campuses. “You’ve got the normal chaos of the first day of school, with the added COVID layers,” said school board member Nick Melvoin, who called the performance of the health screening system a disappointment. And I think everyone’s excited to be back at school.” Students or parents are supposed to log on to a district website every morning before school to receive a pass. “I’m nervous,” said Sandra Espinoza, as she struggled to pull up the Daily Pass site while waiting in line to check in her son Ozil, who is entering kindergarten at Montara Avenue Elementary School in South Gate.
