Even though many are not until mid or late April, most area schools have a plan in place for the fulltime return of students to class, M-F, full days. However, Kennewick does not.
Richland transportation officials urge drivers to be careful, school zones will be seeing additional student traffic starting Wednesday. 6th graders return, followed soon by 7th, 8th and HS.
After going against the advice of the Health Department in October and voting 3-2 to keep middle and H.S. students remote, the Kennewick School Board pushed the return (or possible return) out to Feb. 2.
