“In fact . one of our projects, as part of our association, is to hire substitutes and get parents to volunteer to be substitute teachers,” Davison said.
Jason Barry, who is also a parent, said, “It s unfortunately what was expected.”
Barry said he feels the vote gave the union “too much power,” but he also felt there was movement toward a solution.
“I do feel hopeful there is a tone of wanting to work together, and I hope that’s not just lip service,” Barry said
The issue now is what happens on Jan. 27
, when the district s schools are scheduled to begin the third quarter. If the region were able to flatten the curve and the state stay-home order is lifted for the Southern California region and San Diego County moves back to the red tier, would the district reopen?
