At each of its 34 campuses, the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District strives to create spaces where students feel a sense of belonging. “They need to know this is a place where they are wanted and that we are ready for them to move forward to those next steps in their lives,” says Dr. Greg Plutko, who became superintendent in 2016.
For our latest edition of OC District Pulse, our Media Services team sat down with Dr. Plutko to talk about his district’s community support, its six career-link academies and other contributors to “the PYLUSD Advantage.”
