With the 2019-20 school year having ended virtually, for school officials the next issue is determining how to conduct classes this fall. Oregon education officials provided some guidelines last week, ranging from how classes can be held in-person to how to once again conduct them virtually, and just about everything in between. Incoming Hood River County School District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says the primary focus is having a plan to keep students and staff safe, adding they also have to think about the health of vulnerable family members as well. The guidance from the state requires 35 square feet of space per person, and Polkinghorn says the district is doing some calculations to determine what it can do on campuses, with having students come to school in shifts in combination with distance learning very possible. Districts have to submit their plans to the state by August 15.
