Yuma Union High School District
All Yuma Union High School District schools will be closed Wednesday, May 2, due to the continued statewide movement to increase funding for K-12 education.
“We are going to continue monitoring the state legislature’s actions as well as the AEU (Arizona Educators United) and Red for Ed movement,” YUHSD Superintendent Gina Thompson said. “Due to the extremely high number of teacher absence requests for Wednesday, we are unable to provide adequate supervision on our campuses. We understand the challenges and concerns this creates for students and their families, but we cannot jeopardize the safety and security of our students.”
The district will continue to update parents and students using their Blackboard Connect School Messenger notification, social media and website.
