The Hood River County School District said it is reviewing new school reopening metrics issued on Friday by the Oregon Department of Education, and is awaiting Tuesday’s Oregon Health Authority weekly COVID-19 report. Last week, the district announced the possibility of returning to in-person instruction for grades K-3 on November 23 or 30, and a district statement on Friday said it does not plan to reopen schools earlier than these dates. District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn had also stated earlier that the district would not return students in grades 4-12 to classrooms any earlier than after the conclusion of the first semester.
