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

This hour, ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ Department of Education Commissioner Miguel A. Cardona joins us to answer our questions and yours on the state of ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ’s 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 ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ schools go back to full time remote learning?

What questions do you have for the Commissioner?
