Back to School: Kids, COVID, and the Fight to Reopen

Jake Tapper investigates how America can safely reopen our schools as parents and teachers struggle to stay healthy throughout the covid pandemic. This report will include video diaries from parents, students, and teachers that show the real-life, day-to-day challenges of education in the Covid era. CNN's Chief Medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be one of the many voices to clarify some of the pandemic's most critical questions: are schools fully prepared to allow students, teachers, faculty, and staff to return to in-person classes safely? What is the science telling us, and what are the risks associated with keeping kids from returning to school as soon as possible? Guests will include U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and National Education Association president Becky Pringle.
