WATCH: SC’s Learning Curve: Navigating Education Access in a Pandemic

This school year is beginning with more questions than answers about education in the era of COVID-19, as working families consider how to help kids learn online, parents weigh the risks of sending children to school and the emotional effects of keeping them home, and districts struggle to bridge the digital divide that could leave some students behind.

How should South Carolina’s schools, educators and parents look to tackle these issues in our state?

Join us on Thursday, August 20 at 12:30 for “Learning Curve: Navigating Education Access in a Pandemic,” a virtual forum that will address these issues with some of South Carolina’s top educators.

We look forward to having you take part in this important event.
