At Tuesday’s Reopening Schools: A Virtual Town Hall, we explored how school communities will survive the year. Masks or no masks? Virtual or in-person learning? What’s safest for school staff and families? And where will our children learn best?
We discussed all these issues and more with:
Princess Henderson, parent
Gena Casey, teacher, Irondale Community School
Dr. Walter Gonsoulin, superintendent of Jefferson County schools
Dr. Jesse “Tobias” C. Martinez Jr., director of child psychiatry clinical services at Children’s of Alabama
Dr. Mark Wilson, Jefferson County health officer
And we took questions from those in attendance.
