The Los Angeles Board of Education approved a plan where the school day will start at 9 a.m. and end at 2:15 p.m. Teachers are expected to work an average of six hours per day, and will decide how they’ll use that time for live online instruction, recorded sessions, and independent supervision. Additionally, there will be voluntary one-on-one tutoring for students virtually or in person.
