Students who choose online classes will be unable to participate in extracurricular activities, officials told parents at a recent LAUSD town hall.That said, City of Angels may not be able to offer some of the same specialized programming online. That’s especially important for students in magnet schools, dual language classes or other specialty programs they will not lose their seat in those programs if they choose LAUSD’s virtual option. While students who choose the virtual program are technically enrolling in another school - City of Angels - they will not lose their place in their home school. Students will not have to give up their spot in a specialty program.Students will then work independently for the rest of the day. Secondary students will have three class periods, and get at least 40 minutes of virtual face-time with a teacher in each one - and potentially as much as 70 minutes. Elementary students will get three hours of live instruction each day. Students will have live instruction for part of the day.For that reason, LAUSD officials say they will allow students to switch between the two, but they’re asking students who choose City of Angels to commit to a full semester online to avoid disruption. City of Angels classes may not operate on the same schedule as classes in a student’s home school. Switching between online and in-person classes won’t be as easy as last spring.Instead, they’ll attend classes through City of Angels, an LAUSD school that has offered independent study courses for years. Students who choose virtual classes will not be taught by teachers from their current campus.Students who attend online programs this fall will notice big differences from last year. (The district enrolls an estimated 447,000 students.) As of Wednesday, July 28, just 1,695 parents had enrolled their students in LAUSD's online courses. So far, very few students have expressed interest. Listen: LAUSD Parents Have Until Friday, July 30, To Opt Out Of In-Person Schooling
