Classes in Snohomish County could remain online this fall
OLYMPIA — Classes could be in session this fall for Snohomish County students, but local administrators might opt to follow the state’s three largest districts and continue with remote learning to kick off the year.
The Seattle, Northshore and Kent school districts have already planned for online learning in September as COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the state. Over the next few weeks, school leaders must choose whether to welcome students back for in-person classes in September or continue online.
Those decisions are up to the districts and local health officers, not the state, said Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal.
“We knew in June that school this fall would be different than usual,” he said in a Wednesday news release. “We are likely to see many school districts decide to take most of their instruction and supports online, while many others will provide in-person learning within the health and safety guidelines. These decisions are made at the local level with local communities.”
