A general view inside an empty classroom at a primary school in Hertford, after the majority of schools in the UK closed while the spread of the COVID-19 continues.

The COVID-19 public health crisis has exposed the shortcomings of many systems in the U.S. As schools begin to reopen, education and its pivotal role in overall youth success are top of mind for many.

How can we make schools equitable and accessible and improve overall education outcomes for all San Antonio youth? 

How should the history and root causes of the city’s education inequities be considered and addressed?

How should education be incorporated in planning an equitable recovery from COVID-19 and related economic fallout?

Vital Conversations is a series in collaboration with the San Antonio Area Foundation.
