After unveiling its plan to return secondary students to campus earlier this week, Turlock Unified School District on Thursday held a virtual forum in order to answer questions from parents, students and other community members.
The district’s 7-12 reopening plan, which can be viewed on the TUSD website, was met with backlash from some parents who believe the schedule does not provide enough in-person instruction for students. A large group showed up before Tuesday’s Board of Trustees meeting to protest the plan, which Superintendent Dana Salles Trevethan and Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Heidi Lawler both addressed during Thursday’s forum.
