Parents concerned about learning gaps during the pandemic enrolled their children in summer school in high numbers, officials say.

Genesis Lara Tucson Unified School District saw one of its highest summer school enrollment numbers this year, with more than 11,000 students in grades K-12 taking classes during June.

People are also reading… While TUSD didn’t offer that program this year, Aranda said the enrollment numbers stayed relatively high considering the district was offering summer school programs at each of its campuses. In previous years, the summer programs had been housed at a few select schools. During a virtual media briefing, TUSD Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo noted that high school students, in particular, were trying to address credit deficiencies.

As a result, TUSD incorporated social-emotional learning activities in K-8 summer programs, and hired counselors to address SEL issues in high schools. “Last year, we had a really hard time recruiting staff. They were just tired from the past two years — one full year of teaching online and another year of teaching online, then coming back in person,” Aranda said.
