Kati Parazoo grew up in Roseburg, Oregon, and graduated from Douglas High School. She was proud to return to the school as a teacher in 2018. But last week, she resigned. That’s because the rural Southern Oregon school district decided to reopen its high school with a hybrid model, allowing for some in-person learning, despite a recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the county. We hear from Parazoo about her difficult decision to leave a job she loved.
