By mid-September, it will have been six months since many of the region's school students went to an actual school in person.

California districts are able to offer a hybrid as the school year begins, but many Oregon communities face more stringent guidelines, and will not offer in-person instruction until at least November.

We bring in reps from several Oregon school districts to describe their plans and choices. Districts represented are Medford, Ashland, Klamath County, and Butte Falls.

Guests are Bret Champion, Medford Superintendent; Katherine Holden, Schooling Through COVID Coordinator from Ashland; Jeff Bullock, Klamath County Secondary Curriculum Director; and Butte Falls Superintendent Phil Long.
