1.2 million students won't return to classrooms anytime soon
OLYMPIA — Washington students will not return to classrooms this school year, and maybe longer, leaving teachers with the daunting challenge of educating about 1.2 million elementary and secondary students through distance learning.
Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday extended the current closure of public, private and charter schools through June 19 and warned campuses could possibly be shuttered through the summer and into the start of next school year.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal joined Inslee for the announcement.
“These are difficult times, and this is a tough day here in Washington state,” Reykdal said.
