Many school districts across Washington state have decided to start classes online this fall.

KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and Colleen O’Brien discuss the ripple effect of those decisions with Chris Reykdal, Washington’s Superintendent of Public Instruction who oversees all public school districts across the state.

Then, Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo break down the interview. How feasible are outdoor classes? Could students really be back in classrooms fairly soon? And how will the return of flu season impact this whole process?
