Suspended classes resume at Horizon Charter School
SACRAMENTO, CA - There was a lot of hugging and cheering at Horizon Charter School when word came that classes would resume at the agency's Sacramento site.
Last week parents learned formal classes were shutting down because of a state law that said classes couldn't be held outside Placer County where Horizon charter schools are headquartered.
"There really was no explanation," said Maria Hummel, a sophomore at the Sacramento site.
In a tension filled meeting administrators tried to explain the need for putting students in a home study learning program. But parents and students weren't buying it.
Hummel said, "All we got was a bunch of I'm sorry, I understand and we were going to try to figure this out, We have somewhat of a plan."
Hummel and a classmate organized a study hall at the south Sacramento site. "I really don't understand my math. Here I have someone who can help me," said Hummel. Things were going smoothly when word came the decision to suspend classes had been reversed.
Leshea Munoz who has two children at the school said the news came in a email on her phone.
