The closures were supposed last until at least April 24, about six weeks, but state schools chief Chris Reykdal has repeatedly stressed the shutdown could last longer.

This is really frustrating. WA Governor Jay Inslee currently has a "stay at home" order in place through May 4th (already extended once) and now he just cancelled the remainder of the school year, which I'm assuming means he's going to be extending that stay at home order again very soon.
Seems like a ridiculous thing to do so preemptively. Every school district in the state, I believe, is engaging in remote learning, but they shouldn't just up and cancel the reopening of schools until they see how things are in May. What they should be doing is looking into extending the school year through what would be summer break to make up for lost time. My son is in Kindergarten and this really sucks.
