Families staged a demonstration with their kids attending Zoom class on laptops outside, near a school.

The group that organized it said similar demonstrations will happen today and Monday in front of other public schools.

"We've been at this for almost a year now and our kids are crying out that they need the grownups to work together and find a way forward to come back to in-person learning." said San Francisco parent, Viviane Safrin.

After weeks of negotiations, California legislators agreed yesterday to get kids back in school this spring.

Critics say the plan sets unrealistic timelines and doesn't address the vaccination of teachers.
