Dear reader,

Home base for The Hechinger Report is New York City, but we also have journalists in Massachusetts, Mississippi, Oregon, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Washington State and Texas. When we gather (these days, only on Zoom, of course) we have one question in common: What will education look like this fall?

There are no easy answers, but this week, we give you a few glimpses of coping. A hotline ([link removed]) in Los Angeles, where soothing guidance and referrals are available. A Brooklyn parent looking for equitable solutions ([link removed]) to a confusing and unsettled fall schedule. A community activist ([link removed]) in the Mississippi Delta, getting food to the hungry while grieving the loss of her sister-in-law to coronavirus and helping raise her nephew.

We tell you what students want from reopening ([link removed]) , and what it’s like when college campuses in hotspot areas welcome students back ([link removed]) – only to send them right back home again. We are all of us living the biggest education story of our time, and – as always – we love hearing from you.
