 Dear Reader:
With all back-to-school rituals upended by the pandemic, The Hechinger Report will be sharing stories and images of what’s happening in cities and towns large and small, across the country.
We need your help.
Since March, we’ve been reporting on the many ways learning is changing and how schools and parents are responding – and coping. We’ve also looked closely at how colleges and universities across the country are struggling, work that will continue all year.
As schools reopen in person or remotely, we want to share images of everything from paper packets to learning pods, from open classrooms to closed campuses. Help us document what learning looks like in this historic moment. Here’s how: Email images to [email protected] or send them via text to 212-678-8247. We also have a Dropbox folder where you can upload the visuals. As always, we love hearing from you.
Liz Willen, Editor

States have already announced an average cut of 15 percent to their overall budgets, according to the Education Commission of the States, a nonprofit policy group based in Denver. Since education is the top expenditure in almost every state, the announced cuts are now trickling down to schools. A second round of deeper cuts is expected in the fall.
Between this spring and fall, one kindergarten teacher’s role has expanded to include live-streamed classes, delivering food and connecting with every family every day.
The coronavirus pandemic forced schools across the country to switch to remote learning this spring. Now administrators and politicians have to figure out how to reopen this fall with the virus still raging. The result could topple the already fragile ecosystem of schools in this country and devastate public education for years.
