SAN DIEGO With summer just around the corner, districts countywide are making plans to expand summer school programs to make up for what kids lost during the pandemic.
Traditionally, summer school is focused on academics, and offered to struggling students. However, this year, using federal aid money, districts like San Diego Unified are giving all students the opportunity to attend what’s being described as summer camps, mixing in learning with fun.
Parent Jennifer Sumber is signing her nine-year-old daughter up for summer school, saying like many students, she too experienced some academic losses during the pandemic.

Westview High School senior Diya Sharma, 18, has been active in the social justice movement since Floyd, a Black man, died last year after Derek Chauvin, a White Minneapolis police officer, knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. She was doing her homework when her stepfather called her downstairs to listen to the verdict.
“With (some) police officers, they have this sense of ‘I can get away with this,’ so I was extremely nervous,” she said.
