Rep. Mike Levin to Lead Discussion with Local Educators and Parents on School Re-Opening Challenges
San Juan Capistrano, CA – Tomorrow, U.S. Representative Mike Levin (D-CA) will lead a virtual discussion with North County San Diego and South Orange County school administrators, teachers, and parents to discuss the challenges of re-opening schools safely and effectively. This meeting will also highlight the additional federal COVID-19 relief priorities of local educators. Rep. Levin will be joined by leaders from the San Diego Unified School District, Oceanside Unified School District, Vista Unified School District, Capistrano Unified School District PTA, and California Teachers Association.
