In just a few short weeks, the coronavirus has completely upended America’s K-12 school system. 46 states have closed their schools in response to the pandemic, disrupting the learning of some 54 million children.
On this episode, Nat Malkus speaks with John Bailey, an advisor to the Walton Family Foundation and visiting fellow at AEI. In 2005, while serving as deputy policy director at the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bailey was on an interagency team that developed the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza and the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan. Bailey weighs in on schools’ responses to coronavirus and comments on their preparedness for the pandemic they are now confronting.
Note: In keeping with CDC recommendations regarding social distancing, this podcast was recorded remotely. As such, the audio quality is slightly lower than normal. We are looking forward to the day when we can return to the AEI podcast studio!
