On march day, school absences more than doubled

In the Tempe Elementary School District, 1,899 students were absent Monday, when thousands of people rallied for immigration rights in a march from the Arizona State Fairground to Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza.

On March 27, a typical Monday in the district, only 873 students out of the 13,715 in the district were absent, said Monica Allread, public information coordinator for the district.
