With four weeks of in-person learning completed and most students on campus four days a week following a 13-month pandemic-related closure, the five San Diego Unified School District schools that make up the La Jolla Cluster have reported a total of four cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus, as of May 7.
Meanwhile, some parents are expressing concern that district testing protocols mean not enough students are tested to quickly detect and prevent the spread of the virus.
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – San Diego Unified School District is planning for a five-day-a-week, in-person instruction come fall 2021 for kindergarten through high school.
Marceline Marques, Operations Support Officer from the San Diego Unified School District, joined KUSI’s Elizabeth Alvarez on Good Morning San Diego to urge listening viewers to enroll now.
All students enrolled in the 2021-2022 school year will receive access to free meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner making 21 free meals a week.
A swift enrollment also grants eligibility for SDUSD’s Level-Up Summer of Learning and Joy program.
More information on the summer programs will come to the SDUSD’s website later on in May 2021.
Residents in 1945 pushed back against William Payne’s hiring at Pacific Beach Junior High because they argued there were few Black students at the school.
Pacific Beach resident Paige Hernandez said the park’s name change reaffirms the historical presence of Black community members in Pacific Beach, and it sends a message that racism will not be tolerated, she said.
“It is a way for community members who might be Black and Brown, who live here, to heal and to see that community members do care about their existence here,” Hernandez said.
The 82,000-square foot park is located on Diamond Street. It is used by students at Pacific Beach Middle and by residents when school is not in session.
