The comprehensive plan addressed several significant issues including the impacts of reductions in state education funding, too many empty seats in TUSD schools (which dilute limited resources) and the recommendation of school consolidations involving closures and mergers as one approach to handle the financial deficit the district is facing in the 2013-14 fiscal year. Consolidating schools requires changing home schools and school attendance areas. http://www.tusd1.org/contents/events_summerhrs.html http://www.tusd1.org/contents/events_summerhrs.html Fri, 24 May 2013 20:47:00 GMT Beginning Tuesday, May 28, 2014, through Friday, July 19, 2012, central offices will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Regular office hours of 7:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. resume on Monday, July 29, 2013. http://www.tusd1.org/contents/events_summermeals.html http://www.tusd1.org/contents/events_summermeals.html Fri, 24 May 2013 20:47:00 GMT Tucson Unified School District's Food Services Department announces the sponsorship of the 2013 Summer Food Services Program for Children.
