Over the last year, most folks have discovered a newfound empathy for parents and kids dealing with the impact of school closures. The reality of creating an effective learning environment was already challenging, from creating the physical space to meeting the technical needs of a 21st century education. As we breathe a sigh of relief that our kids are finally returning to school, they are returning to an infrastructure crisis we all must own. Measure 17-99 addresses this reality within our Three Rivers School District.
