The Hood River County School District is offering secondary students to transfer between their school and the Hood River Options Academy until early January.  District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says they had told families when they made their choice between their usual school and distance learning and the full-time on-line Options Academy they would have a chance to transfer for the start of the district’s second semester in late January.  Steps for transferring are available on the Hood River County School District website, with a deadline of January 8.  Polkinghorn added about 20 to 25 percent of families opted in the fall for the Options Academy.
