Camas School District reacts to COVID-19 closures, delivers meals to students

As local residents begin to grapple with daily lives drastically altered by efforts to stem the spread of the deadly and highly contagious coronavirus that causes COVID-19, leaders at the Camas School District are trying to ensure that some things, including daily meals for students, don’t change too much. 

One week after Governor Jay Inslee ordered all public and private K-12 Washington schools to close for six weeks, Camas School District Superintendent Jeff Snell reported the district had been able to serve 1,400 meals in four days and thanked the district’s “incredible troops on the ground” including bus drivers, food services staff and others who have helped make sure Camas students who rely on meals they eat at school are still being nourished.
