District leaders should prioritize full-time, in-person instruction for grades K-5 and students in special education when reopening schools later this summer, a team of education researchers say.

Several large school districts, including Los Angeles, Atlanta and Nashville, will start school with online learning due to spiking coronavirus cases.

Federal interpretation of the CARES Act, contend the attorneys general of Michigan, California, Maine, New Mexico, Wisconson and District of Columbia, will hurt low-income and at-risk students and their teachers, as well as the public schools that serve them and need to meet students' educational and social-emotional needs due to pandemic-related school closures.

To take some pressure off teachers, a virtual learning team will create all of the online lessons for the Mountain View Whisman School District in Silicon Valley this coming year.
