Spokane Public Schools is on spring break next week, but will continue to offer grab-and-go meals Monday through Friday.

The district also has widened its food distribution network, sending buses to neighborhoods near Arlington, Audubon, Cooper, Sheridan and Stevens elementary schools. Meal distribution continues at 24 sites from 11 a.m. to noon every weekday.

The district is also considering a proposal to offer more flexibility to students regarding credits and graduation requirements.

The proposal involves providing students options to receive a pass/fail or a letter grade for each course on their high school transcript, as well as the ability for seniors to apply for a credit waiver. The plan is dependent on upon guidance that is currently being finalized by the State Board of Education.

All districts in the area continue to issue regular updates during the closures, via their websites, social media or direct emails to families.

Here is a district-by-district rundown of plans as of Thursday:
