Courts, Child Care | August 26

On the August 26 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss the status of L.A. County courts, a surprising move at CSU Fullerton and LAUSD’s plans for child care. 

Los Angeles County court officials were scheduled to do a beta test of a jury trial today. Emily Elena Dugdale explains why this didn’t happen. 

Cal State Fullerton’s president took an unusual step today. Adolfo Guzman-Lopez talks about why the university is severing ties with Steven Mihaylo, its biggest donor. 

Many caregivers are struggling to balance child care, schooling and their jobs during the pandemic. Mariana Dale reports on how L.A. Unified is exploring ways to ease that burden during distance learning.
