The Tustin Unified School District is restoring two furlough days on Friday, Feb. 17, and Friday, May 25. This decision has been ratified by TUSD's employee associations. Both dates will be student instructional days and work/paid days for TUSD employees.

"The school district will be open and school will be in session on these two dates," TUSD Superintendent Dr. Gregory Franklin said. "More instructional time for our students is a good thing. Plus, it's fair to our employees who rose to the occasion when it was needed to assist us during this extreme economic downturn."

The two furlough days are being reinstated due to one-time money being given to the District from the federal government through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Education Jobs Bill funds.

The revised calendars are posted on the TUSD Web site at www.tustin.k12.ca.us. For more information, contact the TUSD Communications Office at (714) 730-7339.
