1. An update on school reopenings

As August draws nearer, school districts and education officials are discussing and deciding on whether to reopen school this fall—and if so—what that will look like. Find out what your state is saying about how it will address school reopenings at the link below.

2. Checking in on SCOTUS cases this month

Normally, June 30 would have ended the October 2019-2020 term, but it was extended due to the coronavirus pandemic. This is the first time since 1996 the court has issued opinions in July.

3. Sixteen states currently have no statewide limits on indoor gatherings

In the July 9 edition of Documenting America's Path to Recovery, we highlighted the indoor gathering size limit in each state. 16 states have no statewide indoor gathering size limit. Twelve of those states have Republican governors and four have Democratic governors.

4. New Jersey voters decide statewide congressional primaries

On April 8, Gov. Phil Murphy (D) issued an executive order postponing New Jersey's primary elections from June 2 to July 7. New Jersey is one of fifteen states to defer its primaries due to COVID-19.
