Perspective | From breakfast to broadband and back: Parents’ insight to navigating remote learning

Gov. Roy Cooper announced last Friday that our school buildings will remain closed for the remainder of this academic year. And this week, our General Assembly members returned to Raleigh to consider coronavirus-related legislation, including a number of policies that will impact our public schools.

As we navigate this challenging time, our public schools will continue working to serve our students and families and learning will continue to happen remotely. Today, we are fortunate to have parents from around the state on the show to share their experiences and perspectives on schooling during coronavirus. 

Guests: 

  • Yvonne Seaman Parent, Granville
  • Jenelle Brizendine, Parent Granville
  • Xavier Wortham, Executive Director, Oxford Housing Authority
  • Jessica Wilkins, Parent/PTO president of Granville Academy
  • Alison McCloskey, Moore County Parent
  • Ben Willis, Director of the Education Foundation of Caldwell County
Public School Forum of North Carolina

Since 1986, the Public School Forum of North Carolina has been an indispensable and nonpartisan champion of better schools and the most trusted source in the state for research and analysis on vital education issues. We bring together leaders from business, education, and government to study education issues, develop ideas, seek consensus, and ultimately inform and shape education policy. We do that through research, policy work, innovative programs, advocacy, and continuing education for educators and policymakers.
