This is quite restrictive in comparison to their original plan in June of allowing students [who choose to] return to campuses August 31, while giving other concerned students the option of learning online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond expressed concern about the impact that closing schools will have, beyond just potential learning stagnation.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Teachers are usually the first to notice and report kids in need. From abuse, gang clothing to changes in attitude, schools are the number one reporter of child abuse.

Students across the nation experienced the hardships of getting a quality education when classes were switched to online at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We must take this time now to continue to develop a more functional, equitable and robust system of distance learning and we are fully committed to doing so,&#8221; said San Diego Education Association President Kisha Borden. &#8220;We must also continue to fight for the resources and support we need from the federal government, not just for our schools and students but also for our communities.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the many questions and concerns that students have, the district was able to confirm they would follow their normal school schedules and teachers would receive training to reach their students needs in hopes of offering a better education than they experienced in the spring.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Julianne Foster San Diego and Los Angeles Unified School Districts announced in a\u00a0joint statement that they would be fully online for the fall semester.
