Local private schools mulling in-person class this fall
EVERETT It was a 30-minute Zoom meeting with consequences for thousands of families in Snohomish County.
Last week, Dr. Chris Spitters, the countys top health officer, met with public and private school superintendents from throughout the county. With COVID-19 cases rising to levels previously seen during the virus peak in March, he told them it was too risky to bring students back to campuses this fall. Within hours, most of the countys public school districts announced theyd resume distance learning to start the year.
However, local private schools, with fewer students and smaller class sizes, are still considering in-person instruction.
Weve got big classrooms, 33 acres, seven play fields, Northshore Christian Academy Superintendent Holly Leach said. Were prepared to really follow all those health protocols.
