Suspended Bridge

Until those roads are officially declared detours they can’t be used by the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District to transport kids or teachers, said District Superintendent Doug Oliveira.

“Right now, some families are having their kids stay with relatives during the week,” he said. “But one family has talked about taking their travel trailer and parking it on the other side of the river. And some parents have been transporting their kids on the detour roads. And then we have several high school kids already doing independent study. The day after the bridge was closed, they were proactive and signed up.”

The Yurok Tribe, meanwhile, has offered to provide tutors and to open up an empty house on their side of the river as an education center.
