The state's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, DESE, is pushing back against school districts that are starting remotely, but have low coronavirus transmission numbers within their communities. DESE says they want a timeline of when exactly these districts will get students back into the classrooms.

Watertown Public Schools is one of these communities. Host Arun Rath speaks with Watertown Superintendent Dr. Deanne Galdston and John Porz, chair of Watertown’s School Committee, about this pushback.
