" BELLEVUE, Wash. – The Bellevue School District is taking its teachers to court in an attempt to provide in-person schooling to the district’s students.
On Tuesday, the Bellevue Education Association (BEA) voted to pause the expansion of in-person learning as proposed by the school district until the COVID-19 vaccine is available to all educators.
However, the school district moved forward in welcoming about 770 2nd graders back into the classroom for in-person learning Thursday with substitute teachers, district administrators, and other school staff teaching the students. "
To the extent possible, “it should be a priority for districts to reopen for in-person learning, especially for younger ages,” said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins and a member of the committee.
Most studies suggest the virus poses minimal health risks to children under 18. And the report said that evidence for how easily children become infected or spread the virus to others, including teachers and parents, is “insufficient” to draw firm conclusions.
