Sisters schoolsâ schedules explained Tuesday, March 9, 2021 12:37 PM Sisters middle and high school students began in-person learning in late January under Oregons “hybrid model,” while Sisters Elementary School has been operating largely in person since September.
For many citizens of Sisters Country, confusion and some frustration remains regarding the variations in the “hybrid” schedule among the three schools and the reasons for the differences.
The key reasons for the variations in the three schools’ plans stem from the limiting factor of physical space in relation to the number of students enrolled. The current requirement for schools in Oregon is to provide 35 square feet per individual in the classroom. Until that requirement is changed or lifted, schedule adaptations will remain.
Sisters School District to put up building bond levy
By Charlie Kanzig Tuesday, February 23, 2021 11:24 AM Sisters voters will be asked May 18 to pass a bond for the construction of a new elementary school to replace the current building that is undersized and in need of major renovation.
A 2001 bond that was used to build Sisters High School is “retiring,” which means that if the levy is passes the tax rate of 93 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value would simply continue, allowing the creation of a $33.8 million fund for construction of the new school and renovations and upgrades on other district property.
