With about a month left to go in the school year, some Washington public school districts are signaling to parents that they intend to offer a fully in-person school year this fall for students in all grades.
While taking his oath of office on Monday, Seattle Public Schools’ new interim superintendent, Brent Jones, alluded to “district plans for a full-time return to school this fall,” and said that the city’s schools “have an opportunity to come back stronger than before by centering the perspectives and needs of our students and families in our decision-making.”
