The state has set aside money for public schools to upgrade their heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems. State Superintendent Tony Thurmond says rapid COVID-19 testing is also helping schools bring students back. He says it’s important to continue conversations with various education leaders about how to reopen schools, how to stay open, and how to do it safely.
