Eastmont Pushing Back In-Person Return to Classroom

The Eastmont School District says they are delaying their return to in-person instruction as the area's incidence rate is not at the desired range.

The district said their original hope of returning kids in Preschool through 4th grade on the 19th is no longer viable.

Superintendent Garn Christensen says he will meet with the local health officer in the next week or so to discuss a possible return the following Monday the 26th.

He noted that if rates increase, or Eastmont gets identified as a transmission site, this date will get pushed into November or later.

The Cascade School District in Leavenworth returned to limited in person instruction Monday.
