7:00am | It’s that time of year again. Brand new folders in brand new backpacks, sack lunches freshly creased inside brown paper bags and pictures taken in those first day of school clothes.
That’s right, today is the first day of school for Long Beach Unified School District students.
But it could be a difficult, trying year for students and the school system itself.
