Public students are going back to school full-time in the coming days for the first time in 18 months. We figured this was worth a couple episodes of the podcast. My colleague, Julie Evensen, interviewed Dr. Whitney Casares, a Portland pediatrician, about what parents should keep in mind when it comes to Delta, return to school, the vaccines and much more. This conversation ran on our Facebook account as well. We'll be back Monday with a regular episode featuring reporters Eder Campuzano and Aimee Green talking about the return to school and how parents, students and districts are preparing themselves.
