The Columbia Press 6 Reopening: Plans to have youngest on campus Continued from Page 1 Greg Morrill. “There is no finish line on when you’re certain,” Rogoz- inski responded. For schools to have in-per- son instruction, the state’s test-positivity rate must be at or below 5 percent, the coun- ty’s test-positivity rate must be at or below 5 percent, and there must be fewer than 10 active cases per 100,000 population regionally. The state’s rate has re- mained just above 5 percent, so no districts in the state can open for all grade levels. However, the Clatsop Coun- ty’s stats are healthy enough to allow on-site learning for students in kindergarten through grade 3. The current plan, subject to change: • Those families interested in a completely online option are welcome to join Warren- ton Academy of Virtual Edu- cation, or WAVE. • The youngest students, those through grade 3, will at- tend school on campus from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Distance learning will be added as a supplement. • Students in grades 4 through 12 will start with dis- tance learning only. • Buses could have as many as 45 students at a time; child-care centers would have up to 30 kids at a time.

And during the past year, parents have felt the burden of distance learning. “We have to consider the mental and emotional well-being of students and the community and protect our staff,” said Morrill, the school board’s vice presi- dent. “Somewhere in the midst of all that we have to try to educate students. It’s a pretty impossible task.” In other business, the school board: • Re-elected Morrow as president and Morrill as vice president. • Approved an agreement allowing the Oregon Nation- al Guard to gather at the high school in case of federal mo- bilization, and an agreement with the Red Cross to use the grade school and high school for emergency shelters during a disaster, if needed. • Set the cost of school lunches at $2.40 for grade schoolers, $2.65 for those in grades 7 and 8, and $2.90 for high schoolers. • Approved the purchase of a digital learning manage- ment system for the 2020-21 school year for $120,000.
