My guest is Kathryn Haines, Chesterfield County (Virginia) School Board.  We have an in-depth conversation about the board's decision to start the school year virtually for all students (including special needs).  We compare private to public schools, teacher compensation and safety, social distancing requirements, and the difference in neighboring counties choosing to open.  She describes the various government entities involved in the decision and plans and how each needs to work together for opening.  We also talk about the near and short term plans and consequences of having to navigate school during COVID.
