OLYMPIA, WA Washington is shifting its approach to in-person learning, now recommending most districts begin the process of returning younger students to the classroom once appropriate safety measures are in place.
Gov. Jay Inslee and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal unveiled new guidelines Wednesday, citing multiple studies that found relatively low impacts on coronavirus transmission rates if schools maintained proper precautions.
As of Wednesday, Inslee said just 15 percent of the state s 1.2 million students were attending any in-person classes due to pandemic closures.
