SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The migrant teenagers that are staying at the San Diego Convention Center will be provided an in-person educational program. The decision is being met with frustration from parents and lawmakers, some who have been waiting over a year for students in California to return to in-person learning.
According to the San Diego County Office of Education, the educational program will include English language development and social-emotional learning opportunities.
In addition, teachers who participate in the program are doing so voluntarily, and the program will be following COVID-19 screening protocols based on CDC guidelines.
