We are in the middle of a pandemic. But are kids have been out of school for approaching six months. Education is essential, but at what risk? Are online learning options viable? What choices do we have and what are the health and educational implications?

This week’s Think Tank brings together some of Arizona’s key educational actors to discuss. Dr. Donna Lewis, the Superintendent of the Creighton Elementary School District, and President of the Arizona School Administrators, which represents school administrators, superintendents, and principals. Chris Kotterman, Governmental Relations Director, Arizona School Boards Association, an organization that represents school governing boards. And Joe Thomas, President Arizona Education Association  that represents teachers and other educators.

We discuss issues involved with opening Arizona schools including under what circumstances our should schools open, whose decision it is, and if schools are prepared to open.
