L.A. community colleges will remain online-only through spring
LA TimesL.A. City College, along with eight others in the Los Angeles Community College District, will remain closed at least until summer 2021. The Los Angeles Community College District, the largest in the nation, will remain online-only for the rest of the academic year amid the region’s ongoing coronavirus public health crisis, the system’s chancellor has announced. Riverside said it is planning to offer online instruction “for the most part.” The San Diego Community College District has not made a final decision, but Chancellor Constance Carroll has said the district is “moving toward” scheduling and offering most spring classes online, with a slight increase in the number of hybrid classes, especially in science laboratory, clinical and career/technical areas. California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley supports the decision of community colleges that plan to remain online-only and has urged others to make similar announcements, a spokesman said.
