The labs are the district’s effort to increase in-person support for students while schools are closed to regular instruction.
These students “have the need for connectivity, to do face-to-face instruction, to get social-emotional support,” San Diego Unified board member Mike McQuary told the La Jolla Cluster Association at its Feb. 18 meeting.
He said the labs are “an effort to provide for the urgent needs of the students that require this onsite support and services.”
Tavga Bustani, chief of leadership and learning for the district, said the learning labs are open up to five days a week and are supervised by “a visiting teacher or noncertificated personnel.”
