Since the start of the school year three months ago, this semester has been far from normal.

Many of Minnesota’s school districts have halted in-person learning due to rising COVID-19 cases across the state. Students, parents, teachers and school staff are feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. 

Two school district superintendents and MPR News education reporter Elizabeth Shockman joined host Angela Davis to talk about how the fall semester is going, how teachers and staff are doing and what they’ve learned from the experience.

Guests:

  • Theresa Battle, superintendent of ISD191 (Burnsville-Eagan-Savage schools)

  • Christine Tucci Osorio, superintendent of ISD 622 (North St Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale schools)

  • Elizabeth Shockman, MPR News education reporter
