State should offset the cost to Oregon families who have given up paychecks to accommodate forced home-based distance classes.
The Oregon Department of Education recently announced relaxed guidelines for school reopenings.
The new guidelines provide a roadmap for districts in the Portland area and much of the state to roll out in-person instruction for elementary school students.
Regardless of the new guidelines, it is looking more likely that many of Oregon s largest school districts will not return to full-time, in-person instruction for all students this year.
Earlier this month, the presidents of teachers unions representing Oregon s five largest school districts sent a letter to Gov. Kate Brown. The letter demanded all school staff be fully vaccinated before schools reopen for any in-person instruction. If all goes well, that means mid-February would be the soonest that schools can reopen.
