Portland Public Schools have been doing some form of in-person classes for about a month now. Some older students have only been back for a couple of weeks. We talk with PPS superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero and chief of schools Shawn Bird about how it’s going, what they expect the end of the school year will be like and what they anticipate learning may look like in the summer and fall.
