Eastern Standard for August 20, 2020

It’s Carrie Ballinger’s first school year as Superintendent of Schools in Rockcastle County. And a pandemic is making everything unpredictable. The latest in our series of interviews with teachers and superintendents working to reopen schools | Child care services already were in crisis before the pandemic hit. Now, reports the Herald-Leader’s John Cheves, the system is near collapse. And June Widman of the Appalachian Early Childhood Network details the results | Economic development and education: you can’t have one without the other. Lee Todd’s latest interview helps connect the dots.
