The panel discussion included LACCD Chancellor Rodriguez building upon the themes of students learning during the COVID-19 emergency and the responses from some of the state’s community colleges. The episode featured L.A. Harbor College’s award-winning Culinary Arts program and included footage of students learning and cooking in a remote learning environment with their instructors. The episode itself is also available online at: https://insidecaled.org/videogallery/video/learning-helping-pandemic/ Both were premiered together on July 14.

3 The numbers of positive COVID-19 cases In Los Angeles County, in California and in many parts of the U.S continues to soar upwards. Numbers are shown below as part of this report.

4 LACCD continues to work towards bringing back as soon as safely and logistically possible some of the 125 classes from the Spring 2020 semester that could not be completed in remote learning which need some amount of on-campus and/or in-person educational instruction. Given the soaring numbers of Coronavirus cases in Los Angeles County and the state, both State, County and local officials are currently contemplating re-issuing mandatory “Safer at Home” orders to further re-close areas to help contain the virus. The District is closely monitoring the conditions for possible new stay home closure orders and is evaluating the impact that such orders would have on the District’s ability to bring back classes even though the emphasis and prior approval is to support education for the essential services infrastructure such as healthcare or first responders. No date for the return of these classes has been set but the goal would be later this month is safe to do so.
