As Connecticut continues to project that it will be able to open K-12 schools this fall, individual districts are already grappling with what that might mean in reality. Plans to hold in-person summer school in Norwalk were dealt a blow last week when a staff member came down with Covid-19 after classes began. Experiences like that have many people asking, is this a window into what we can expect when schools open in the fall? 

We depend on your support. Donate to Connecticut Public today.

Erin Kayata of Hearst Connecticut reported on the Norwalk incident. She talks about what it reveals about the strength of the state's return-to-school plan with All Things Considered host John Henry Smith.
