In-person classes for Washington students 'at risk' this fall due to rising COVID-19 cases

In June, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal said he expected in-person instruction to resume in September. But now in July, he says he's not sure.

"We had the critical numbers we needed to feel comfortable about the fall but things have clearly sprung back up in terms of caseloads and that really puts at risk the fall opening," said Reykdal.

On Thursday the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) sent a template to superintendents across the state.

School districts are required to submit reopening plans for state review no later than two weeks before the first day of school. At the same time, Educators appear to be working on options for parents.
