We explore how education is evolving in different parts of Michigan, a state which often serves as a barometer of things to come throughout the United States. Paula Alejo (a sophomore in high school) and Nashawn Longmire (a senior in high school) speak with us about their final months of this school year and their hopes for the next. Heather McKaig, a high school English teacher and theatre director, opens up to us about her concerns for students during this time and into the future. And Aaron Williams, the principal at Burton Glen Charter Academy outside Flint, Michigan, discusses the specific challenges his community faces, both regarding COVID-19 and the protests surrounding George Floyd's death.
