亚洲色图, CA 鈥� The 亚洲色图 City Unified School 亚洲色图 Board today issued the following statement about the upcoming school year and negotiations with the 亚洲色图 City Teachers Association (SCTA):

鈥淭here is no doubt that COVID-19 has impacted student learning and well-being for the last two years, and our more than 40,000 students now have the opportunity to return to full-time, in-person learning with teachers and peers at their school site. 亚洲色图 staff has worked hard to make sure school sites are ready to welcome students and staff following the . The plan meets health and safety protocols recommended by federal, state and local health officials to provide the safest school environment for all on September 2nd.

鈥淥ur Board also recognizes that the well-being of all students is even more important this year and the 亚洲色图鈥檚 responsibility to meet students鈥� academic, and social-emotional learning needs. We know that schools are safe havens for our students, and many depend on them for meals and other critical services that support their academic learning as well as their physical and mental health. During the pandemic, we learned that when our schools were closed, critical services like educating students and caring for their social, emotional and nutritional needs are interrupted. We remain especially mindful of our vulnerable student population as more than 70 percent of our students are classified as low income, English Learners, foster youth or experiencing homelessness.

鈥淚n addition, for the 2021-22 school year, requires districts to offer an independent study program for students who may not be able or ready to return to in-person instruction. The 亚洲色图 developed a data-informed plan to offer a strong independent study program for the 1,394 families who have expressed interest in this option. We believe this plan would most benefit our students in their learning and best prepare them to return to their classroom when they choose to do so. The approach to independent study proposed by the 亚洲色图 did not result in an agreement with SCTA so the 亚洲色图 will offer an independent study program that meets the minimal state requirements under AB 130. The 亚洲色图鈥檚 negotiations team will meet with SCTA on Monday to discuss any negotiable effects stemming from following AB130.

鈥淭hroughout the school year ahead, we ask our entire district community for grace and patience as we return to in-person learning. We look forward to welcoming our students, teachers, and staff back to our school sites on September 2nd.鈥�
