SEATTLE — Since the pandemic, public school enrollment in Washington state has dropped by more than 60,000 students.
Instead, many families have chosen to enroll their children in private or homeschool.
Jennifer McLucas said her family switched from public to homeschooling during the pandemic.
“It was extremely difficult," McLucas said about distance learning. "I had a child in middle school, a child in high school, and two kids in elementary school and trying to coordinate their Zoom times and connect with their teachers and to find out what we needed to do, it was just, it was really overwhelming for me."
