PLEASANTON, Calif. (KGO) Middle and high school students in Pleasanton returned to the classroom Thursday for the first time in a year. The school district is the first in Alameda County to open up schools to older kids. Pleasanton elementary schools opened last week. I think it s not about being first, it s about being there for kids and we were able to get our ducks in a row, so to speak, said Superintendent David Haglund.
Haglund is now getting calls from school districts across the state looking at him as an example. I was talking to a board member from Southern California last night and my response to her question was- it s about the village. If the village gets together and works together, we can make things happen. But it does take everybody, he said.
