Felicia Ortiz joins Carrie Kaufman and today's co-hosts Akiko Cooks and Andrea Cole to talk about how the Nevada Department of Education is dealing with this coronavirus statewide shutdown.
Two days before he announced the shutdown, Governor Sisolak announced that all schools throughout the state were to be closed.
What does this mean for the rest of the school year? What does this mean for SATs and AP tests? What about seniors? Born in the aftermath of 9/11, our seniors are faced with graduating during a pandemic.
Ortiz is an elected member of the State Boards of Ed. Cooks started No Racism in Schools 1865 after her son was targeted at his school. And Andrea Strohm Cole is one of the moderators of a very active Facebook group, devoted to Clark County School District Parents. If you have a child or grandchild or are a student in the district, you would be wise to join CCSD Parents.
Impact is produced by The Nevada Voice, which is edited by host Carrie Kaufman. It is co-produced by UNLV 91.5 Jazz and More. And we are working closely with CCSD Parents, No Racism in Schools 1865 and The Arts Table.
