Washington schools superintendent warns parents to prepare for more closures

COVID-19 outbreaks in schools have led to hundreds of Washington students to quarantine and forced school closures in Pierce, Kittitas and, Grays Harbor counties.

Though parents should prepare for more closures this year, state Superintendent Chris Reykdal does not anticipate a complete shutdown of all schools.

"We have the strictest health protocols which is why we are not seeing what we saw in Florida, Texas, [and] Georgia when their schools cranked up," Reykdal said. "By the tens of thousands they were shutting down."

Students at Eatonville Middle School returned to in-person classes Monday after being sent home in September because of a COVID-19 outbreak. This closure and a few others had many Washington parents worried, especially those who received letter after letter, notifying them their child had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

all schools in the state of CA (staff and students). My neighbor told me last night that his class (he teaches high school in San Diego, CA) has had two students come down with Covid. He said that parents had threatened to sue the city but less than a week after San Diego's School Board voted unanimously for vax mandates the state did the same. Go ahead and try to sue the state of CA, you moronic parents. Go right ahead and spend all your money on lawyers...HA!
