There’s so much uncertainty and controversy about students returning to school. How is your station covering the return to school for students? How is your station promoting that coverage? However they go back, how do you have their back?
Everything is different about going back to school.
Even the term has new meaning. “Back to school” implies a return to normal. That students will be on site, physically in the classrooms. For some, that may not be true this year, much like it wasn’t true so much last year.
There’s so much uncertainty and controversy about students returning to school.
Are masks mandatory? Are vaccinations mandatory for teachers? What about in-class vs. remote learning?
And depending on where schools are located — the state, the county, the city or town — the rules may be different.
And depending on the location, schools may already be open, while in other locations, plans are still being formulated.
How is your station covering the return to school for students? How is your station promoting that coverage?
