RACINE â Racine Unified School Districtâs current plan for offering summer school this year is opening only three schools for the 4K-8 program: Gifford, Jerstad-Agerholm and Mitchell.
The Racine Branch of the NAACP thinks this is a problem for inner city communities. None of the schools are walking distance from those communities, and the districtâs current plan doesnât offer bus service to those schools, they said.
At a news conference Wednesday night at Racine Branch headquarters, 1633 Racine St., the Branch called for RUSD to take immediate steps to solve those problems.
They outlined the following demands:
Open Julian Thomas Elementary School on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Knapp Elementary School on 17th Street.
