The academic year is well on it’s way. How are students and teachers in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø adapting to their second semester of online learning? 

This hour, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Department of Education Commissioner Miguel A. Cardona joins us to answer our questions and yours on the state of ºÚÁϳԹÏ꿉۪s schools. 

According to a report released by the Department of Education last week, student enrollment has declined 3% across the state and twice as many homeless students are missing school this year. Might we see ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø schools go back to full time remote learning?

What questions do you have for the Commissioner?
