LA Archdiocese’s Catholic Schools to Begin School Year Online

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles announced Saturday that its Catholic schools throughout Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties will open the 2020-21 school year with distance learning due to the new state requirements for resuming in-person instruction.

“Though our return to our beloved campuses will be delayed for now, we will return,” Paul Escala, senior director and superintendent of Catholic schools for the Archdiocese, wrote in a letter to school families, educators and pastors. “Until then, our schools will open at a distance and our community will once again rise to the occasion.”
