Baker Countyâs two smallest school districts, Huntington and Burnt River, have for the most part kept their classrooms open to students during the pandemic.
Burnt River Charter School at Unity, about 50 miles southwest of Baker City, continues to offer in-person classes for all students four days per week.
The Huntington School District, on the other hand, has sent middle school and high school students back to comprehensive distance learning after two students and two staff members tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
The Burnt River School District is continuing to teach its 23 students in person Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Superintendent Lou Lyon stated in a press release.
