Summary
Hermiston Christian School, a private, religious K-12 Oregon school, filed a lawsuit in federal court against Gov. Katherine Brown to challenge her COVID-19 order threatening private schools with 30 days jail time and $1,250 fines for reopening in-person instruction, despite allowing public schools of identical size in the same county permission to resume in-person classes.
The school withdrew its lawsuit because Brown eliminated special exceptions that existed for public schools and is now allowing Christian schools like Hermiston to safely open for in-person instruction.
