San Francisco public high school seniors will be able to spend their last few weeks of high school back on campus.
KPIX-5 reports that the teachers’ union has reached an agreement with the San Francisco Unified School District to let 12th grade students return for in-person learning on May 14.
The last day of school is June 2, with graduation ceremonies scheduled for June 1-3.
“(United Educators of San Francisco) brought the initial proposal to SFUSD so that our current graduating seniors would have the opportunity to spend some time in-person on campus with teachers and their peers during their last few weeks of high school as they say goodbye to classmates and prepare for graduation and the next chapter of their lives,” said union president Susan Solomon in a statement to KPIX-5.
The agreement hinged on getting enough teachers to volunteer to return to campus.
