MILTON-FREEWATER â Oregon schools faced stricter restrictions earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented them from moving to a hybrid schedule as fast as many Washington schools.
Now, however, the Milton-Freewater and Athena-Weston school districts are jumping to full days of in-person learning faster than most of their neighbors to the north.
The Athena-Weston district made the jump for the remainder of their students on Monday, April 5.
Younger Athena-Weston students have been back for full days for some time. However, the high school classrooms are too small to accommodate full classes if students need to sit 6 feet apart.
Now, Gov. Kate Brownâs decision to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations and switch to 3 feet of distancing for students have allowed high schoolers to return as well.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. â A man reportedly used a skateboard as his main mode of transportation to go from California to Walla Walla, Washington, for the sentencing of a crime four years after he pleaded guilty in Walla Walla County Superior Court.
Christopher J. Wilkinson, 23, appeared in court on Wednesday, April 7. He was arrested in July 2017 for reportedly possessing drugs as well as assaulting and obstructing the work of a Walla Walla Police Department officer.
Wilkinsonâs attorney, Robin Olson, said Wilkinson pleaded guilty to two of the crimes â third-degree assault and a drug-related crime â that same month. But then Wilkinson violated his release agreement while awaiting sentencing, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to the Washington Courts online database.
