In-person learning is unsafe and unsustainable.  Educators receive daily alerts of another positive test in their school community and more and more parents face impossible choices between the health of their children and household or limited options for remaining in remote learning.

Our current hybrid model fails to provide adequate instruction for our students.  Sub shortages have resulted in many students facing a rotating roster of teachers and time switching between online and in-building is time lost from learning.  The spiraling increase in COVID-19 cases simply makes this approach both inequitable and unsustainable.

Educators and families all want a return to normal, but “normal” school, like so many other items, is not on the menu right now. Pasco elementary schools need to return to remote learning until we can safely reopen equitably and safely.
