TUSD Superintendent on district’s COVID mitigation plan

The district has opted for virtual learning but will begin to welcome some students back March 22.
by Kassandra Lau

At the Tucson Unified School District, southern Arizona’s largest, the vast majority of its roughly 40,000 students have continued to learn from home. That was already set to change even before the governor’s order. TUSD announced in February it would bring students back starting March 24. Ducey’s order bumped up that timeline by a few days to the 22nd when the district returns from spring break. Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo discussed how his staff are preparing and what safety precautions are in place.
