Frontloading teachers for the coronavirus vaccine really doesn’t make sense when there’s no plan to return them to the classroom.
The percentage of students receiving an “F” during the first semester increased by over one-third compared to last year. It’s tangible evidence that it’s imperative reopen the Clark County School District.
Subsidizing failure doesn’t work. That’s the premise of president-elect Joe Biden’s new plan for community colleges, however.
The nation’s schools won’t be getting their report cards next year.
There was only one problem with the Clark County School District’s reopening announcement. It didn’t contain a reopening announcement.

The Clark County School District finally has a plan to get students back in the classroom.
