Parents, students and teachers aren’t the only ones affected by school closures. This week, we discuss ripple effects felt throughout the community, and what the state and organizations are doing to combat them.

Melissa Davlin talks to Robin Findl, owner of Kids Choice Childcare Center and Preschool, about how school closures and homeschool pods are affecting daycares. Then, Chauntelle Lieske, executive director of Safe Passage in Coeur d’Alene, discusses the rise in severity of domestic violence and child abuse cases.
