Thousands of Los Angeles-area kids headed back to school Thursday as classes start in the nation’s second largest school district.
The Los Angeles Unified School District is implementing measures to ensure the “safe passage” of children and parents to and from school amid heightened concerns of federal immigration raids.
Hundreds of volunteers, district employees and police are set to patrol near dozens of schools and set up “safe zones” in areas that have a large Latino student population.
