Washington state schools chief says coronavirus might keep students out of classrooms through end of school year

Washington State Superintendent Chris Reykdal says school buildings may stay closed through the end of the school year. Since schools closed in mid-March, Reykdal and Gov. Jay Inslee have said buildings would remain closed until at least April 24.

“I don’t know if we’re coming back to school this year and I want to be honest about that,” Reykdal said. “I think you should expect to be in this distance-learning model for quite a long time.”
