Print Responding to parents’ requests to see middle- and high-school students allowed back on campus full time, Newport-Mesa Unified School Districts have approved a return to full-day instruction for secondary students, with some minor modifications, the starting week of April 26. In a special meeting Thursday evening, Supt. Russell Lee-Sung explained how district officials and site administrators had convened to discuss the option of increasing face time between students and teachers, who’ve been coming to campus part time under a hybrid learning model since November. “We have done our best in distance learning, but it has its limitations. If we can get kids back to in-person, that is our first objective,” he explained.
