Today from Mission Local


Good afternoon!

Parents and teachers fighting staff cuts at four K-8 schools found out last night that three of the schools would get positions restored.  “Honestly,” said one parent, “I’ve done a lot of advocacy in my life, but I have rarely seen an immediate change.” The school distict will start discussing school consolidation and closures this Thursday at a virtual town hall

Jeremy Rene Reyes, the after-school worker accused of raping a 12-year old girl at Everett Middle School, remains in jail pending trial, after details emerged about his alleged months-long relationship with the child. Reyes told police that he knew the girl was too young, but that they were in love.
