What Does 'Back To School' Mean Now?: A Virtual Community Conversation

WFDD held its second Virtual Community Conversation on Thursday, convening a panel of 5 regional education experts to discuss back-to-school challenges created by the pandemic. The conversation was moderated by WFDD reporter Keri Brown, whose beats include education, and streamed live on YouTube.
