SECONDARY STUDENTS (7-12) MOVE TO DISTANCE LEARNING FOR EIGHT DAYS AFTER THANKSGIVING BREAK
The Clarkston School Board at its regularly scheduled meeting Monday night (11/23/2020) discussed future educational plans and a schedule for the week following Thanksgiving Break. The School Board invited two guests to offer public health guidance: Dr. Bob Lutz, the Asotin County Health Officer, and Brady Woodbury, the Asotin County Health Administrator. The general consensus among experts and educators across the state and specifically our region is a dramatic spike in the virus through Thanksgiving. With that anticipated spike will come additional sickness, more quarantined staff, and increased hospital load.
After a lengthy discussion, the following plan was approved:
- Secondary students (7-12) will go to distance learning for eight school days: 11/30 - 12/9. Students will return to in-person learning on December 10, pending favorable data the week of 11/30.
- Some secondary students will be allowed for instruction based on criteria set up by the school during this time (i.e., students with special needs, unique circumstances, etc.). Secondary students identified for in-person support days will be notified by their school of those times and dates
- Elementary students (K-6) will stay in school for that same time-period; there will be no change to their schedule during the same timeframe.
