Seattle Public Schools Fail To Provide Education For Many Weeks In 2020

 


Fewer than 150 of Seattle’s 50,000-plus students attended schools in person during the first week of March. District and union officials announced last week they were close to finalizing an in-person agreement for preschoolers and students with disabilities to start March 29, the first step of the reopening plan. 

“It blows everything up,” said Chandra Hampson, president of the Seattle School Board, of Inslee’s announcement, adding that she still wants to see the district and union meet the March 29 deadline. “It completely changes what we have to bargain … And that’s super frustrating. We weren’t happy about delays (to reopen)…  But we wanted to prioritize more in-person time to those less likely to succeed.”
