The changes were approved by the Board at its September 1, 2021 regularly scheduled meeting.
The Board Policy does not prevent anyone from enrolling, attending or working at the District鈥檚 nine colleges or other facilities due to their vaccination status, but will help create safer in-person learning and workplace environments for students and District employees. Extensive outreach to employees and students will now begin to advise them of the changes, the new requirements and deadline for compliance.
As announced at the Board meeting, employees will have until October 18, 2021 to get fully vaccinated or provide a medical or religious exemption for approval by the District and have a baseline COVID-19 test. Any person with a District-approved exemption must still be tested at least weekly. All 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 students who intend to be onsite, in person at any college or District facility must follow the same process.
The policy, as revised and approved, now states:
As a condition of employment and a condition to physically accessing any District building, classroom, library, gymnasium, facility, or other indoor setting, all District employees shall present proof that they have been fully vaccinated against the SARSCoV-2 virus (COVID-19) unless exempt for medical or religious reasons.

The District is working with a vendor to coordinate testing sites and operating schedules at all nine colleges that are expected to open in about two weeks. The vendor will provide testing and a secured database for the results.
All employees will need to obtain a baseline test no later than October 18, 2021. All students who intend to be in person at any of the colleges or District facilities must do the same. Employees and students who are fully vaccinated will then be able to upload their valid COVID-19 vaccination information. Once the vaccination information or a negative test is uploaded and verified, they will receive a 鈥淨R鈥 code for display on a mobile smart device to show their eligibility to access the colleges or District facilities.
In addition to compliance with the revised Board Policy 2900, until further notice:
- All students, employees and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, must wear masks or facial coverings while inside any college building or District facility.
- All persons planning to visit a campus or District facility must complete the symptom self-check prior to every day they intend to be onsite.

You are considered to be fully vaccinated two (2) weeks after getting your J&J vaccine (single dose) or after a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. It is possible to get infected while the vaccine is taking effect, so it is important that you continue to protect yourself against COVID-19 for the full two weeks.
Once you are fully vaccinated, there is still a small risk that you could get infected. This is considered a 鈥減ost vaccination infection鈥 more commonly called by the news media as a breakthrough infection. The good news is that vaccinated people who do get infected often don鈥檛 get as sick as unvaccinated people. Their symptoms, if any, don鈥檛 last as long and they usually do not require hospitalization.
The District is closely monitoring the situation and will share updated information as soon as possible. Currently, both the White House and the FDA are indicating that people should get a booster shot at about eight (8) months after they were fully vaccinated. Recent information provided by the pharmacy companies indicates this is true for all three of the vaccines. Continue to stay alert to news media reports and updates by the LACDPH. The District will share other information as quickly as possible.
The medical science has been clear that getting vaccinated is the best protection against infection and death caused by COVID-19. Masking and social distancing are also important tools to help stop the community spread of this pandemic, but the vaccines prevent infections and the ability of the virus to mutate.
Only a small number of authorized 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Human Resources employees will have access to your COVID-19 proof of vaccination or COVID-19 test results. This information will be stored in a secured database and will only be used to grant or deny you a daily access the colleges or District facilities. Any employee or student who tests positive will activate the established reporting, contact tracing and notification processes.
The District is currently working with a company called Biocept to administer COVID-19 tests at the nine 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 colleges. Details on testing processes and procedures are being finalized now.
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 is working with Biocept to provide on-campus testing for employees and students on a rotating basis at the nine colleges and District facilities. Employees and students will receive an email with a link to register and schedule for testing. More details will be announced as soon as possible.
新澳门六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 testing partner, Biocept, will be offering PCR (nasal swab) testing on site.
PLEASE EXPECT THAT THIS FAQ WILL BE UPDATED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

From: Mercedes C. Gutierrez, Interim Vice Chancellor, Human Resources Division

Subject: VIOLATIONS OF 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 SAFETY PROTOCOLS & COUNTY HEALTH ORDER
Please remember that wearing facial coverings and following all District Safety Advisories and current Health Orders from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health during the COVID-19 pandemic is mandatory.
Failure to comply with the District鈥檚 mandatory safety protocols can constitute insubordination and can result in progressive intervention/discipline, which can lead to dismissal.

All full and part-time employees are directly accountable, including all approved volunteers of the District, for thoroughly reading and following all Safety Advisories. Speak directly with your supervisor if you are unclear about how to comply. If you need to access District facilities you must follow the approved screening and check-in processes and use Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). If you do not have PPE, contact your supervisor before arriving at any District property or college campus.

The Human Resources Division has received prior reports of employees at the colleges who were observed not wearing facial coverings, inappropriately congregating and eating together without social distancing, riding in golf carts or other vehicles together, and committing other violations. Conduct such as this must not occur on District sites.
The rules are very simple:
- When in public wear a mask; wear a mask at all times while indoors at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 colleges, property and facilities
- Do not congregate with other people
- Frequently wash your hands with soap and water and/or use appropriate hand sanitizer

新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Update
November 17th, 2020
New cases of COVID-19 are surging in Los Angeles County, in much of California and throughout the United States. : 鈥淥ver the weekend, Public Health reported a total of 6,841 new cases; 3,780 new cases for Saturday and 3,061 new cases for Sunday. The County has not experienced daily numbers like this since late July, during the last surge that resulted in many people becoming very seriously ill and losing their lives to COVID-19.鈥 On Monday鈥攗sually the day of the week with the lowest numbers reported鈥攏early 2,800 new cases were reported. We currently have had a total of nearly 343,000 cases and 7,300 deaths since the pandemic began in March. The new cases are putting a significant strain on hospitals and medical resources.
The Governors of California, Oregon and Washington last week jointly issued strong warnings against travel for the Thanksgiving Holiday next week. While certainly disappointing news for thousands of people, the messages from the West Coast were echoed by governors and mayors across the nation as 鈥渨arning bells and whistles鈥 are sounding on increase cases and the impact on hospitals to deal with the surge.
Newsom鈥檚 message can be found . His warning is based on the statewide Health Advisory from the California Department of Public Health. The is effective immediately and remains valid until further notice, according to the state鈥檚 Health Department. The official Travel Advisory states:
Persons arriving in California from other states or Californians returning from other states or countries could increase the risk of COVID-19 spread. In addition, travel itself can be a risk for exposure to COVID-19, particularly travel through shared conveyance such as air, bus or rail travel.
Travel Advisory for Non-Essential Travel.
鈥淣on-essential travel鈥 includes travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature. 鈥淓ssential travel鈥 includes: work and study, critical infrastructure support, economic services and supply chains, health, immediate medical care, and safety and security.
Most of California has now returned to the Purple / Tier 1 Status of restrictions due to COVID-19 effective . The status change impacts business operations and public access to them. L.A. County has never gotten out of Tier 1 and now city, county and state officials say they are looking into even more restrictive curfews or other measures for L.A. County and elsewhere鈥攕tay alert and be prepared for those developments.
The State has now updated its guidance mandates that a face covering is required at all times when outside of the home. Some exceptions apply and the full 4-1-1 is here to read, please.
Both say test results show effective rates exceeding more than 90 percent for their COVID-19 vaccines. (Moderna at nearly 95 percent and more than 90 percent). The L.A. Times quoted Dr. Anthony Fauci saying the results are 鈥渢ruly striking.鈥 Fauci, the U.S. government鈥檚 top infectious diseases expert, said the vaccines 鈥渁re really the light at the end of the tunnel.鈥 Good, and welcome news, to be sure, however, more testing is needed and mass quantities of any vaccine is still several months away for the general population. Distribution and other logistics remain and priority will be given to healthcare workers and the most vulnerable populations first.
Health Officials urge:
- Re-think your holiday plans and cancel any plans for travel outside the region in the coming weeks.
- If you plan to celebrate Thanksgiving with others not in your household, celebrate outdoors with only two other households and use social distancing for eating.
- Stay home as much as possible for the next two to three weeks, except for accessing essential services, especially older people and anyone with serious underlying health conditions. When possible, try to use delivery services for groceries and medicines.
- Wear masks and keep your distance both indoors and outdoors as much as possible.
- If you are positive or a close contact of someone who is positive, follow Public Health Orders to isolate or quarantine.
- If you have engaged in risky activities where you may have been exposed in a crowd with people who weren鈥檛 wearing masks and distancing, please self-quarantine for 14 days.
- Frequently wash or sanitize your hands.
- Practice safe handling for raw meats and poultry.

Chancellor's Communication: Winter and Spring 2021
Dear 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Colleagues,
I am writing to provide an important announcement regarding the upcoming Winter session and Spring 2021 semester.
We remain in a declared public health emergency at the national, state and local level, and, given the current health orders, safety protocols and restrictions, our best health experts agree that we are still far from full recovery without a vaccine or responsive therapeutics.
Therefore, 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 will deliver all classes for the Winter session and the Spring 2021 Semester in primarily remote/online learning environments for the remainder of the academic year.

I appreciate the consultation with our District Academic Senate, our Faculty Guild, college presidents and senior administration, and support from our Board of Trustees that led to this decision.

Dear East Los Angeles College Community,
Today, Sunday, March 22, 2020, we received confirmation of an 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 student who tested positive on March 21, 2020 for COVID-19. The student reported feeling possible symptoms the week prior and was tested on Thursday, March 19. The student is in quarantine and reported to us to be doing well and is recovering. We are doing all we can to support the student during this time.
Out of an abundance of caution and guidance from public health protocols, all faculty and staff at East Los Angeles College who were previously scheduled to be on campus Monday, March 23 are now directed to work from home unless first contacted by their direct supervisor to report, as part of the college鈥檚 essential functions team.

新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Interim President
March 13, 2020
The California Community College Athletics Association (CCCAA) has just made the decision this evening to suspend all athletic competition and contests for the remainder of Spring. This means that effective immediately, all East Los Angeles College teams will cease to continue with their current game, event and practice schedules. This decision was made due to the growing threat of the COVID-19 Corona virus that has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
The sports world in general has quickly moved to suspend or cancel contests all over in an overall effort to limit public exposure to the virus and to protect athletes from infection as much as possible. On our level, this movement has happened quickly as well: as of this past Tuesday morning, we were finalizing hotel plans for school officials that had planned to attend the CCCAA Basketball championships that was scheduled in Lemoore this weekend. But early that afternoon, we began to hear word that attendance in Lemoore would be restricted to just the participating teams, coaches, and trainers. No fans, no students, no school officials. This decision was confirmed later that day via a release on the CCCAA site.
We were initially disappointed to not be able to join our men's basketball team to support them on their championship quest, but still the same, we saw them off this morning at 9am on their charter bus to Lemoore.
They only made it halfway before having to turn around...
At around 11:15am today, we received word that the State championship was cancelled. And soonafter, we began to hear whispers that all CCCAA-sanctioned Spring sporting events would soon be affected. Some time after 7pm tonight we received word via an email from Keith Curry, President of the CCCAA Executive Board, that the CCCAA Board of Directors "...voted to postpone indefinitely, practices outside of regularly scheduled classes, and competition for all spring sports and those sports in their nontraditional seasons".

新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Interim President Dr. Ra煤l Rodr铆guez and 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez are joined by two special guest speakers from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to host a town hall meeting to address concerns about the Coronavirus/COVID-19.
From: Vice President of Academic Affairs Ruben Arenas
March 12, 2020
Dear colleagues,
We are writing to provide an update to our Academic Continuity Plan and its implementation. As of Wednesday, March 18th, we will be moving all class sections that do not require in-person interaction online. Although there have been no confirmed cases of infection within the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果, we are following the lead of sister institutions and limiting the number of students who will be on campus out of an abundance of caution. We must stress that both the Monterey Park and South Gate campuses remain open 鈥 we will simply be moving the majority of instruction online.
A full list of sections that will not be transitioning to the online modality will be made available by tomorrow (Friday) evening. This list will be sent to students, but we ask the help of instructors and staff in further communicating this important information to students.
Monday, March 16th, and Tuesday, March 17th, will be non-instructional days so that faculty may come on campus to receive Canvas and Zoom training. No classes will meet on Monday and Tuesday of next week, including dual enrollment and offsite sections.
We want to thank each of you for your patience and cooperation during this difficult time. We want to be clear that we do not have all the answers, but with so many of you stepping up to help and support our students and our colleagues we will surely get through this together.
The remainder of this message details critical information for the Monday and Tuesday training days as well as some information for what will occur during the period the College is primarily offering classes online. Please read this entire message in its entirety.
Sincerely,
Julie Benavides, Vice President, Student Services
Dr. Armida Ornelas, Vice President, Continuing Education and Workforce Development
Ruben Arenas, Vice President, Liberal Arts and Sciences
Monday, March 16th, and Tuesday, March 17th, are non-instructional days that are being set aside for faculty training in Canvas and Zoom. Training will be provided from 8:00 AM 鈥 10:00 PM on both days in the Language Lab and the Learning Assistance Center located in the E3 building. Faculty are welcome to come in at any time and do not need to make an appointment. Distance education experts will be on-hand to work with faculty individually and in-groups. All nine colleges will be hosting similar trainings on Monday and Tuesday, and faculty are welcome to attend at whichever college they prefer. (Please call Academic Affairs at the local college for training locations.) Trainings will emphasize the use of Zoom within Canvas for synchronous (鈥渓ive鈥) instruction, but other topics such as how to give quizzes and assignments, how to upload content, and how to moderate class discussions will also be covered.
If you answer 鈥淣o鈥 to any of the following questions you should come in for training:
1. Put your course materials online
Yes | No | Question |
---|---|---|
I have a Canvas course for each of my courses that contains the most current course information. | ||
I have a way to distribute assignments to my students online through the Canvas course site. | ||
I use audio or video materials in class, and I know how to share these with my students. | ||
I use the Canvas LMS to make materials available to my students. |
2. Establish channels of communication with your students and colleagues
Yes | No | Question |
---|---|---|
My students know how to contact me remotely if they have a question. | ||
I have a way to facilitate discussion with groups of students remotely. | ||
Students have a way to contact each other and collaborate online. |
3. Establish ways to conduct your class at a distance
Yes | No | Question |
---|---|---|
My students can read, listen to, and/or watch my lectures online. | ||
My students can turn in homework and take exams online. | ||
I have a way to respond to student work and securely publish grades online. | ||
I know how to submit final grades to the Registrar online. |
4. Set up remote access to important resources
Yes | No | Question |
---|---|---|
I have a computer or laptop at home that has the software and Internet connectivity I need to work remotely. |
As stressed above, both 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 campuses remain open even though most classes are moving online. Services such as the Library, tutoring, supplemental instruction, Admissions and Records, and the SPARC Center will remain open. Classified staff, student workers, administrators, and department chairs should continue to come to campus as usual. During this period of transition, we can expect that many of our students and faculty will have questions, so it is important that we all make ourselves available so that we can help them with kindness and sensitivity.
We recognize that not all students will have access to computers and Wi-Fi at home. For this reason, we are designating a number of spaces on both campuses where students can come in and take their online classes using college computers. These spaces are:
- The Library (Monday 鈥 Thursday, 7:00 a.m. 鈥 10:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m. 鈥 5:00 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. 鈥 5:00 p.m., and Sunday 12:00 鈥 5:00 p.m.)
All other spaces will be open Monday 鈥 Thursday, 8:00 a.m. 鈥 10:00 p.m., and Friday 9:00 鈥 4:00 p.m.
- The Writing Center
- The Language Lab
- The Math Lab
- E7 4th floor 鈥 Rooms 405, 406, 415, 416, and 418
- The South Gate Center Library
- South Gate Room 122
Additional staff will be on-hand in these locations to assist students as needed. Given the need for social distancing, students will be spaced one computer apart from each other. We are also limiting capacity in large spaces to no more than 100 individuals, including staff, at any one time.
By limiting to these locations our facilities and operations staff will be much better able to provide targeted sanitization services throughout the day.
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 will activate an Online Learning Call Center to help students and faculty with specific online education questions or concerns. The Online Learning Call Center will be open starting Wednesday, March 18th, and will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, using the toll free number: (844) My新澳门六合彩开奖结果 or (844) 695-2223.
Offsite classes will continue as planned as long as those locations remain open to 新澳门六合彩开奖结果. This includes dual enrollment classes at middle and high schools, adult education classes at community centers, and clinical classes.
Information Technology is in the process of making an emergency purchase of webcams for instructor use. Any instructor who needs one can sign one out from Academic Affairs beginning Monday afternoon. If possible, departments should consider setting up webcams for department adjunct spaces that can be used by any faculty in the department.
We anticipate that even with all the above measures that some students will not be able to participate in either a face-to-face class or a class that has been converted to the online modality. We are asking instructors to encourage those students to visit the SPARC Center, located in the Student Services building near the Admissions Office, so that staff can help them to assess their best options for completing the semester.
Instructors and staff may not exclude or remove students from class or services even if they appear ill. You may suggest that the student visit our campus Student Health Center, which remains open. We hope that all faculty and staff will treat all our students with sensitivity during this difficult time.
Office hours may proceed on campus or via Canvas at the instructor鈥檚 discretion. However an instructor chooses, the required number of office hours still need to be completed each week.
Textbooks
The DSPS Office continues to be open and serving students. Test-taking and other accommodations will continue to be coordinated through that office.
At the discretion of the supervising vice president, midterm exams and other high-stake exams for courses moved online may be administered on campus during the usual class meeting period and in the usual classroom. Requests to offer a midterm on campus should be made to your chair at least three working days prior to the exam. Your chair will communicate requests in batches to the dean and VP for a decision. Quizzes and other lower value assessments should proceed online.
Faculty evaluations will be put on hold until at least April 13th. The Administration and AFT 1521 will discuss how to move forward once normal operations resume.
Departments can continue to meet as normal, as long as no more than 100 individuals are gathering in a single space. We are cancelling club meetings until at least April 13th.
Athletics events will continue to proceed as normal with no restrictions on the number of spectators present.
Artistic performances may continue as planned with a limit of 100 tickets issued to spectators.
A message that is specific to students will be sent out soon after this message. That message will be blind copied to all faculty and staff so that you are aware of what students are being told, and so that you can help support them if they have questions.

COVID-19 Response Team
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 leadership has been meeting daily to monitor and plan for any responses needed to COVID-19/Coronavirus. Last week, the District formally established a COVID-19 Response Team, representing and working collaboratively with various 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 constituencies. This extensive work is in alignment with the direction of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Prevention and Hygiene
LACDPH Health Officers continue to recommend:
Alternative/Remote Learning Delivery
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 and our colleges are moving forward with plans for alternative/remote learning delivery if necessary due to this public health emergency. With cooperation and support from our District Academic Senate and the Faculty Guild, 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 is preparing to use Canvas, our content management system, to provide remote instruction. We will have more to announce about this very soon.
Los Angeles Pierce College
Out of an abundance of caution, Los Angeles Pierce College and District officials have been in regular contact with five Pierce College students regarding their health status. The students recently attended the AIPAC conference in Washington, D.C. where two attendees from New York and one from Los Angeles have since tested positive for COVID-19.
NONE of the positive cases involved our students. Our students were not contacted by LACDPH to self-quarantine or isolate. LACDPH has said there is NO risk of public exposure from this L.A. county case and we have no directive from health officials that our students are at risk or should be quarantined. Our students report they are healthy and they are self-monitoring per the official guidelines from health officials. Our students have been advised they can self-quarantine and have been offered our full support.
Travel
All non-essential travel has been suspended for all senior level administrators, including the Chancellor, Deputy Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, College Presidents, District Senior Staff and College Deans. The District is in consultation now about expanding this suspension to all 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 personnel and students. An updated announcement will be made as soon as possible. Meanwhile, if you are sick for any reason, health officials urge you not to travel.
Events
All events and event protocols are under review for all public gatherings at the colleges and District facilities. Most events are currently proceeding, but the situation is dynamic and changing. Should community spread of COVID-19 become more widespread in Los Angeles County, the Public Health Officer for the County of Los Angeles has the legal authority to close facilities and cancel events. More information about events within 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 will be made as soon as possible.
Thank you for the continued steps that you are taking to protect your own health and the health of the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 community. We will continue to provide you with detailed messages. Please check the website,

COVID-19 Update for 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Faculty, Staff and Students
We want to provide you with updated information on the Novel Corona virus, now referred to as COVID-19. Please share this information with all students, faculty and staff at your college.
Federal, state and local health experts together with government leaders continue to closely monitor and respond to the situation in California and the nation regarding COVID-19. It is important for everyone to stay informed; use common sense and not overreact.
Currently, the health risk to the general public from COVID-19 remains low in the U.S., including in California, according to top medical officials from the Centers for Disease Control, California鈥檚 Department of Public Health and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
As of February 27, 2020, there are nine (9) confirmed cases in California, plus 24 additional cases among the Americans who are currently quarantined here from the 鈥渞epatriation flights鈥 that occurred earlier this month, according to the state Health Department.
One of the nine cases in California occurred this week in Northern California, possibly of an undetermined transmission origin, and remains under investigation.
Health officials continue to advise the best prevention strategy is similar to fighting a cold, including:
-
Frequently wash hands with soap and water
-
Cover coughs and sneezes with your elbow or tissues
-
Stay home from work or school if you are sick; avoid others who are sick with a respiratory illness
-
Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
The President of the United States and California鈥檚 Governor both held public briefings this week with health officials to reaffirm these additional key message points, including:
-
Individual risks in the U.S. remain low, but it is likely we will see more cases here in the near future
-
Now is the time for all of us to prepare鈥攁t home and work鈥攕hould the situation become worse
-
Stay informed (see links below)
-
Cases of COVID-19 have been reported in many countries, this is not a virus exclusive only to Chinese or Asian people
There continues to be no recommendation to wear masks in public settings; the use of masks is a personal choice. Currently, there are no school closures ordered in California or the rest of the U.S.; no health orders to cancel public events and no widespread quarantines.
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 and the nine colleges, meanwhile, are also actively monitoring the situation and updating our emergency response plans due to possible disruptions from a widespread outbreak of COVID-19. Preparing on a personal level is similar to preparing for any emergency. Make sure you have enough extra food, water, medicines and other emergency supplies for everyone in your household, including pets, for at least a week.
In addition, health officials remind everyone to still get a seasonal flu shot if you have not done so already and to make sure you have pre-identified a primary care physician to call first if you or a household member gets sick. Health officials also caution the public not to fall prey to rumors and unofficial speculation circulating on the Internet and social media platforms. Instead, stay informed by regularly checking these official public health websites:

L.A. County Department of Public Health Guidance for Schools
Multi language outreach for schools
