Parents frustrated after Brea schools temporarily drop in-person learning In a letter sent to parents, Superintendent Brad Mason said the decision to return to full-time distance learning was in response to the statewide stay-at-home order. KABC Share: BREA, Calif. (KABC) -- Students in the Brea Olinda Unified School District are no longer on campus after the district temporarily pulled its in-person hybrid model until February. This means every student is back to full-time distance learning, which has frustrated some parents. "I don't know that the best interest of the children was being looked at when they made this knee-jerk reaction," said parent Steve Tatone, who formed a group called "For The Kiddos of Brea." The group is calling for an immediate reversal of the district's decision and for parents to be involved in the decision-making process.
