WHIDBEY NEWS-TIMES: Oak Harbor School Board votes to change reopening plan

Emily Gilbert reports from the Dec. 9 Oak Harbor School Board meeting. The four-hour meeting resulted in the board’s unanimous vote to ask Superintendent Lance Gibbons to bring them “a plan to bring Pre-K through sixth grade students back” with a hybrid of in-classroom and remote learning after winter break. Public comment took nearly an hour, with parents and staff in favor of in-person teaching.
