At the onset of the COVID outbreak, millions of school children across the country were sent home amid health and safety fears, and haven’t seen a classroom since. Today, there is growing concern that America could be creating a new and even longer-lasting crisis by depriving children of education during a time of critical development in their lives. As the school year approaches, join us as we discuss the challenges and solutions for reopening schools and ensuring parents have the power to make the best decisions for their kids.
