Are longer school days on the horizon for Visalia students?
Your child may be in for a longer school day come fall.
Negotiations are already underway after Visalia Unified trustees unanimously approved the district’s proposed expanded learning and opportunity grant, money meant to help both in-person and distance learners next year.
This may mean longer school days for students, teachers and administration, though the finer details are still being ironed out between the district and union.
“Our district has a historic revenue that comes along once in a generation. We need to put those resources to work in ways that accelerate our students and get the most bang for our buck,” said Greg Price, president of Visalia Unified Teacher Association.
