Oregon governor says state’s schools will stay closed through academic year

Education

PORTLAND, Ore. — Gov. Kate Brown says Oregon's K-12 schools will remain closed though the end of the academic year due to the coronavirus outbreak, placing the state's more than 550,000 students and their teachers in uncharted territory as districts with vastly different resources plan for weeks of remote learning.

Seniors who had passing grades and were on track to graduate when the state's stay-at-home order began in mid-March will be able to graduate, said Brown.
