In a letter to parents, North Wasco County School District 21 Interim Superintendent Theresa Peters says that at this point the district is looking at a hybrid model combining distance learning and in-person instruction to begin the upcoming school year as the COVID-19 crisis continues on.  Peters wrote that each building administrator has formed a team to assist in the planning efforts, and each school has a blueprint that is currently in draft form as they await guidance from the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Health Authority.  She anticipates sharing those plans with staff, parents, the North Central Public Health District, and the D-21 board in late July or early August.  Peters also wrote that it will be important to plan for multiple possibilities.
