For many, one of the biggest points of anxiety during this pandemic has been about school and whether to send kids back to campus. Just yesterday, Governor Newsom said all school districts in the state should reopen for full-time 5 day-a- week instruction. He tied that to BILLIONS in funding proposals...although he stopped short of a mandate. And today Randi Weingarten,  president of the American Federation of Teachers - the second-largest teachers’ union in the U-S - also called for a full reopening of the nation’s schools.  Yet, resistance among many families remains.

John Rogers, Director of UCLA Institute for Democracy, Education and Access
Tyrone Howard, Director of the Black Male Institute and the Pritzker Family Endowed Chair in Education to Strengthen Families
