COVER STORY

Our cover story this month is four parts related to back-to-school. First, IASA accepted an invitation to participate in a new webinar series led by ECHO Chicago, part of The University of Chicago. Watch recordings of the webinars and hear from medical experts about reopening school. Second, Ben Boer, IASA’s director of research and data analysis, writes about the most under appreciated issue happening right now that could have a dramatic impact on schools for

years to come. Third, in the IASA Legal Corner, the Tueth Keeney law firm submits an article about “Viewing Return to School/Remote Learning Plans Through an Equity Lens.” Fourth, learn about four options to help with pre-certification of student temperatures, disinfecting rooms and conducting rapid testing.
