Portland Public Schools:
In the latest update from the school board, it said that it has expanded in-person learning opportunities but has not yet started hybrid learning for all K-5 students as it had intended.
In January, PPS chief of schools Dr. Shawn Bird spoke on the moves PPS was making to try and make hybrid learning possible. It hopes to begin the transition in April.
“School administrators have been identifying the students that are eligible, and they’re reaching out to families individually, making sure that families understand this is optional and we want to make sure they feel safe,” he said.

Gresham, Portland education leaders reflect on the institutional inequities we ve discovered this past year.
If the snowfall seen Friday Feb. 12 had occurred in any other academic year, it s likely most metro area schools would be closed for a snow day. After 11 months of remote learning brought on suddenly by the COVID-19 pandemic, for many students in the Portland area it was just another school day.
The ability to teach and learn remotely is one of a handful of bright spots and takeaways from the past year, touched on by Oregon education and early childhood learning leaders during a Portland City Club conversation Friday, Feb. 12. The conversation, dubbed State of Education, featured host Toya Fick, Oregon s executive director of Stand For Children. Fick was joined by Portland Public Schools Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero, Gresham Barlow School District Superintendent Katrise Perera and Miriam Calderon, early learning system director for the state of Oregon.
