Schools are partnering with a local organization Wednesday to distribute student food packs on the eve of Arizona’s teacher walkout.
Maricopa Unified School District, Leading Edge Academy and Our Children Matter will dispense two-day food packs at three locations April 25:
- Copper Sky: 5-6 p.m.
- Pacana Park south parking lot (adjacent to Leading Edge): 6-7 p.m.
- Park next to Santa Cruz Elementary school: 7-8 p.m.
MUSD will also serve students breakfast and lunch during the walkout that will close schools April 26-27 and possibly longer.
The Copper Sky distribution is in conjunction with a #RedForEd rally. Teachers will meet at 5 p.m. near the tennis courts.
