Featured stories:
Keeta Holmes, director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, discussed the shift to online learning at local schools with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Holmes suggested that parents and teachers create a safe space for students where they’re comfortable
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch turned to Terry Jones, professor emeritus of political science, for insight on how local governments will fare with reduced shopping and sales taxes. Without a vaccine for COVID-19, Jones said many shoppers will still be wary of going out in public. He estimated most local governments could weather three to six months of a lockdown, but it could put them at odds with bondholders.
Rachel Winograd, associate research professor at the Missouri Institute of Mental Health, spoke with St. Louis Public Radio about the challenges current and former drug users face during COVID-19 lockdowns. While telehealth services are useful for many people, she noted those with unstable housing situations have less access to them.
