Parents and students in Citrus Heights and other areas of the San Juan Unified School District are planning a “sit-in” protest to advocate for a return to in-person learning.
More than 100 people gathered at Sunrise Mall on Friday in support of the “Let Them Play” movement, a grassroots effort to reopen California youth sports.
The San Juan Unified School District has announced plans to further postpone its return to in-person learning, as the region faces rising cases of COVID-19.
Draft plans for a new charter school in Citrus Heights were formally submitted to the city last month, showing a two-story, 25,000-square-foot classroom building, along with a multi-purpose building, on-site parking and a wrap-around drop-off lane adjacent to Antelope Road.
Students in Citrus Heights may have to wait until further into next year to return to school, after Sacramento County last week reentered the most restrictive “purple tier” for COVID-19.
A new charter school approved earlier this year has purchased a vacant parcel on Antelope Road near Old Auburn Boulevard, where a new school will be constructed.
