Governors express measured optimism for careful school reopenings

“But by and large, I think, across our state and across our nation, kids are going to return to school in the fall, it’s just not going to look like any other school year.”Polis, who previously served as a member of the Colorado State Board of Education, said his administration is working with school districts on “schedules that have less interactions, that can slow the spread when there’s an inevitable outbreak.”Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican who has won praise for his coronavirus response, also emphasized the need to facilitate social distancing in schools, while expressing more tempered expectations about school reopenings."What I have asked the schools to do is to assume they're going back, but to come up with all kinds of alternatives," DeWine said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "Assume, if you're back, for example, how do you achieve some sort of distancing?""But we hope to be open in August, when school starts back up in most places in Ohio, but we don't know yet, frankly." DeWine added.
