Parent reads statement saying La Jolla High physics class lacks permanent teacher

Nina Hernandez read a statement on behalf of her mother, Leonor Garza, saying her daughter’s physics class began the year without a permanent teacher and that students had rotating substitutes and independent packets rather than consistent instruction. Hernandez said the principal has provided an interim plan—periodic instruction from a qualified teacher and access to another teacher for help—but the family worries the lost classroom time cannot be recovered.
