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 county’s 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 county’s public school districts announced they’d resume distance learning to start the year.
However, local private schools, with fewer students and smaller class sizes, are still considering in-person instruction.
“We’ve got big classrooms, 33 acres, seven play fields,” Northshore Christian Academy Superintendent Holly Leach said. “We’re prepared to really follow all those health protocols.”
