Our local teacher’s union says it’s not safe to return to school. In a letter to the Washoe County School Board, the Washoe Education Association along with two other unions want to halt in-person learning for at least nine weeks. The current plan approved by the board calls for a hybrid model where some students are in class part-time and home part-time. The unions say while returning to school is important, there are still too many uncertainties on safety protocols.
