Selfless San Diego teachers volunteer teaching migrant children (some tested positive for Covid-19) in person

Racists unhappy that taxpayers' children get only online schooling



While their district is on spring break, some San Diego Unified School District teachers are volunteering their time at the San Diego Convention Center where hundreds of migrant teenage girls separated from their families are being sheltered.

The teens are being housed at the convention center until they can be reunited with family already in the U.S. or moved into sponsor homes while their asylum claims are being processed.

"Our teachers have volunteered to help -- we are not paying them in any way -- because caring for children is central to who they are as human beings", SDUSD spokesperson Maureen Magee said in part. "The power of their example should inspire us all, and hopefully many others will be inspired to show these girls that we are a compassionate community".

The district allowed staff to sign up for volunteer opportunities, but they are ultimately called on to volunteer by the San Diego County Office of Education, Magee said.

As of Tuesday, there were 723 teenage girls at the convention center shelter, which is being operated by the county and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The site is expected to receive around 250 teens every other day until it reaches capacity of around 1,450, according to HHS spokesperson Bonnie Preston.
