												 About the programAs California nears the one-year anniversary of the first pandemic-induced shutdowns, the question of how to handle the state’s public K–12 schools remains fraught. As vaccinations ramp up, deep concerns over equity, learning loss, and physical and mental health remain. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with a panel of distinguished experts about the challenges and opportunities ahead.
 As part of our Speaker Series on California’s Future, PPIC invites leaders to participate in public conversations. The purpose is to give Californians a better understanding of how our leaders are addressing the challenges facing our state.
