With recent COVID increases in the state, parents are uncertain about the future and school districts are grasping for solutions, setting off a host of new problems for parents and kids. Today, we check in with two parents, in two very different school districts about masking, vaccines for kids, and other pandemic school year challenges. 

GUESTS:

Caitlyn Perry Dial lives in Brighton. Her son, Elliott, is seven and her son, Theo, is four.

Arlyssa Heard lives in Detroit. Her son, Judah Shelton, is 15.
