News 11 s Adonis Albright speaks with superintendents across Yuma County to learn more
SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - It s been just over a week since Gadsden Elementary School District (GESD) resumed in-person learning, and there s a disproportionate amount of kids not coming back to class.
Out of the district s nearly 5,000 children currently enrolled, only about 1,200 of them have returned to the classroom.
Perhaps some parents prefer their children to get an education from home, especially given the pandemic. According to the acting superintendent, Lisette Esparza, there s concern another wave of COVID-19 cases might be right around the corner.
