Seattle School Board Approves Fall Online Learning Plan

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle school board on Wednesday unanimously voted to begin the academic year remotely.

The plan for the state’s largest school district passed with a wide-ranging amendment that directs the superintendent to explore creating outdoor classes, and also reinforces teaching of Black studies and curricula developed by tribes, The Seattle Times reported.

Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Denise Juneau had previously recommended a fully remote learning model for the start of the school year, which was endorsed by the principals labor union and teachers union.
