| (Oct. 23, 2020, 2:05 a.m.) -- Parents of children that used the Grant Elementary School (1225 E 64th St.) Child Development Center (CDC) are the latest to receive a notice that their child "may have been exposed to COVID.-19."
The notices, dated Oct. 20, state that children may have be exposed to the virus on Thursday, October 15 and Friday, October 16, 2020 and as a result "your child should quarantine at home for 14 days." It does NOT say the Grant CDC will be closing during the quarantine or any other period. Grant is the 8th LBUSD location to notify parents that their child using their school's CDC may have been exposed to COVID-19. As previously reported by LBREPORT>com, LBUSD's Dooley Day Care (Child Development) Center (5075 LB Blvd.) notified parents/guardians on Oct. 14 of a COVID-19 positive case from a person within the elementary school. In what it said is "an abundance of caution," Dooley will close for 14 days, reopening on Oct. 29. Apart from LBUSD CDC's and other limited programs, LBUSD schools remain closed for in-person instruction. Previous COVID-19 infections that prompted notifications occurred at Garfield Child Development Center (Sept; 1), Bixby Kids Club (Sept. 18), Webster Child Development Center (Sept. 23), Edison Head Start (Sept. 24), the Jordan Baseball Program (Sept. 28) and Willard Child Development Center.. As previously reported by LBREPORT.com, the Irvine Unified School District and Los Alamitos Unified School District, which were among the first nearby to reopen for classroom instruction, are now seeing COVID-19 infections among students and staff.

Socially-networked parents on the Reopen Long Beach Schools Facebook page (roughly 1,900 members) continue to press LBUSD's administration and elected school board to re-open schools for in-classroom instruction. Dispatches on the group's Facebook page frequently note the small percentages of COVID=19 affected staff and students. A separate Facebook group, Parents for Teachers LBUSD (6,600 members, mainly teachers) stresses the highly contagious nature of the virus, its potential to grow exponentially and urges caution to protect teachers and students (and their families) from becoming infected and passing the virus to others.
