The question of in-person schooling remains one of the most important (and most difficult) out there. Importantly, we have to take the option of "back to normal" off the table in our minds. To be done safely, in-person schooling will require a lot of modification.

Data-driven decision making helps us weigh benefits and risks (there are always risks). Here, @ProfEmilyOster discusses the need for close monitoring, recognizing differences between age groups, having a contingency plan, and creative staffing. #PIHchat

But ultimately, as described by @ashishkjha, our ability to safely re-open schools will depend on both the resources available to make these modifications (we need to invest in healthy buildings!), and background level of community transmission. #PIHchat

School is set to start soon. In places where community transmission is still widespread, it remains hard for me to imagine in-person schooling. Some counties are pushing back start dates, but first we need to get serious about community control. #PIHchat

Of course the health of our kids (their parents) and our economies depends on getting kids back to school. It is absolutely a national priority. What are your thoughts about sending kids back to school? Join the conversation with @PIH (@kj_seung) using #PIHchat.
