Some say it's about time.

Others --- way too soon.

Renee... after brown's announcement parents took to social media to share their excitement and air their transgressions some saying that for rural areas it really doesnt matter because they have been allowed to be open to some degree others saying they anticipated this flip flopping and pulled their kid out of the public school system.

Educators have a mixed reaction too.

Sabrina gordon is the president of the eugene education association shes a mother and an educator and she said loosening the metrics feels like a shortcut.

Knowing all the decisions and workings that have to be made in a school district to make that happen safely it can happen quickly and it shouldn happen quickly.
