The academic year is well on it’s way. How are students and teachers in º£½Ç»»ÆÞ adapting to their second semester of online learning? 

This hour, º£½Ç»»ÆÞ Department of Education Commissioner Miguel A. Cardona joins us to answer our questions and yours on the state of º£½Ç»»ÆÞ’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 º£½Ç»»ÆÞ schools go back to full time remote learning?

What questions do you have for the Commissioner?
