PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Students in Vancouver will begin the 2020-21 school year with remote classes and then transition to a hybrid schedule as soon as health data in Clark County indicates it’s safe.
That’s the word from the Vancouver Public Schools and the Vancouver Education Association in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
For this school year, they agreed to use safety precautions from the Department of Health and Clark County, follow those safety protocols district-wide, make sure people get trained on the protocols, be flexible with those who choose to work remotely and limit groups of people working on-site.
