ast week, high school students in Spokane returned to in-person classes, marking the first time in a year that Spokane Public Schools students of all ages had a real live teacher in front of them. It wasn t a moment of celebration for everyone, however. Spokane Public Schools says many parents have tried to enroll their middle school and high school students into the district s virtual program, Spokane Virtual Academy, instead of returning to in-person classes. The waiting list numbers more than 100 students, according to Heather Bybee, the district s curriculum director. She says students on that list will be enrolled in the virtual school within the next couple weeks.

accinate teachers. It s become a rallying cry uniting parents and celebrities, Democrats and Republicans. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and many schools are nearing the one-year mark of closing to in-person instruction, there s seemingly universal support for vaccinating educators as soon as possible so schools can be open safely. So why hasn t Washington and Gov. Jay Inslee prioritized COVID-19 vaccines for teachers yet? Inslee says it comes down to a lack of supply. We would all like to be vaccinated today, Inslee said in a press conference last week. We are going to be vaccinating teachers. We re already vaccinating teachers over 65 and those over 50 in multigenerational housing. There isn t enough to go around for everybody not of age right now.
