EXCERPTS

With more than 12 states seeing a surge in the number of new coronavirus cases, many school districts around the country are planning for partial in-person class or full-time remote learning this fall.

Many parents are onboard with that decision. Only 19% of parents prefer their children return to school in-person full-time this fall, according to a Pew Research Center survey released Wednesday. Over a third, 36%, prefer a blend of in-person and remote learning, while 28% would like to see their children attending school fully remote.
