Recent hot weather and Oregon’s old school buildings led to an uncomfortable start to the year in many places. Wildfire smoke can add to the discomfort. Here's a look at how schools are responding.

Falling childhood vaccination rates during the pandemic meant that thousands of students were unable to start the school year on a campus because they did not have the immunizations required by the state.

A bill advancing in the state legislature would prohibit California public schools, colleges and universities from purchasing agricultural products for student meals not grown, packed, or processed in the United States.

Egg white breakfast wraps, vegetarian ramen, gumbo, glazed carrots and organic cheeseburgers aren’t just trendy restaurant offerings — they’re on some of the breakfast and lunch menus at California schools.

Many Oregon students may no longer have access to free meals, as they did during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The start of the school year is just around the corner and school leaders in the state are facing new COVID-19 guidelines, staff shortages and the need for more mental health services for Oregon's youth.

Decisions on masking and other COVID-19 safety measures are up to local school districts and health officials.

School officials and law enforcement talk about mental health and better coordination but stay clear of gun control talk.

Schools across Oregon are providing free summer meals to anyone 18 and under, but a federal waiver for free meals ends June 30, putting the future of universal free school lunches in jeopardy.

After a rough couple of years, we asked teachers to tell us how they are doing. Their answers were revealing.

Some teachers have left because of the challenges of teaching during a pandemic, while others were fearful they would contract Covid-19 and some were offered higher-paying jobs. Many just burned out.

In the wake of last week’s mass shooting, where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, some school districts in the Rogue Valley are preparing to support their communities over the summer.
