- After scouring the area for hours, Washington County agencies have concluded that reports of a plane crash on Sunday afternoon were inaccurate.

- With multiple Metro area schools moving to remote learning in recent days, Beaverton School District issued a statement on Monday explaining its policies. The district stated that although it's been a priority to maintain in-person learning, a transition to remote learning is becoming increasingly possible due to the rise in COVID cases and staffing shortages. The statement explained that if such a transition is necessary, students will have two days without school to allow teachers time to prepare before resuming remotely. (District News)
