Justin Jones attended 11 high schools before he finally found his place at Fusion Charter. During a Turlock Unified School District Board meeting in January, Jones spoke before trustees about his time spent at the free public charter school, which was opened to the community in 2014. He told them that Fusion Charter was the first school where he felt welcomed by students and faculty, and that the support he received from staff — particularly Aspiranet Division Director Chris Essary, which he referred to as a father figure — helped him to graduate earlier this year.
Fusion Charter renewed for another five years
