It’s the first week of class for Portland public school students and many others around the state return in a matter of days. But the Delta variant of COVID-19 is spreading and most students are still unvaccinated. It’s an exciting and nerve-wracking time.

On the latest episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, reporters Eder Campuzano and Aimee Green talk about how school districts are preparing for yet another abnormal school year.
