PHOENIX — The 2020 school year is off to a start unlike any we’ve ever seen before.
As the state is divided by those who want students to return to class and those that fear the virus presents too great a risk, some families are stuck in the middle – without the equipment to make virtual learning work, and the tools to make their kids successful.
Team 12’s Trisha Hendricks and I-Team executive producer Katie Wilcox explore the costs to schools to prepare the classroom – with cleaning supplies, masks, gloves and gowns costing hundreds of thousands of dollars – and finding ways to get laptops and internet access to students in need.
This is Everything You Need to Know about going back to class in 2020.
