The Pacific Palisades Community Council adopted a motion recommending prioritization of safe school reopenings, particularly for elementary schools and special-needs classes, citing the importance of in-person learning for student development and parental workforce participation while emphasizing the need for adequate health and safety resources including testing, vaccinations, and personal protective equipment. The motion was based on research indicating that school closures disproportionately harm disadvantaged students and that schools can be safely reopened with proper support from federal and state governments.
