Thought Leaders from Across the Education System Discuss Challenges and Local Solutions
DENVER, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Future of School is hosting a national webinar, Business Not as Usual, highlighting the national challenges faced by school districts across the country to reopen schools. The panel of business, foundation and education leaders will discuss innovative ways to solve educational challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the evolving needs of parents and students.

Future of School has developed the Resilient School Project to support districts and schools as transition to blended and online learning.

We are now at a pivotal moment where we have the opportunity to bring the future of school to today."
