Parent Maria Hernandez, originally from Guatemala, with her sons, Edwin Gomez, 10, and Jesus Gomez, 9, arrive to get tested at a COVID-19 testing and vaccination site by the Los Angeles Unified School District in at the Roybal Learning Center in Los Angeles Thursday, April 15, 2021. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging all schools in the state to reopen, saying there are no health barriers to getting children back into classrooms and ending distance learning. California's 11,000 schools have reopened or have set plans to reopen, but that is misleading because there is no uniformity in what it means for a school to be open. Some are offering one or two days of in-person instruction, mixed with distance learning on other days. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
