Summer School

Parents of students between kindergarten and fifth grade sued the school district in Racine, Wisconsin, over its refusal to use coronavirus relief funds to open two schools that predominantly serve poor Black and Hispanic students for the summer, including bus service and after-school programs, even though it is providing similar resources to schools with more affluent white students.

School desks that are not going to be used are marked out to keep social distance inside a classroom at the secondary school Sevilla la Nueva in Sevilla la Nueva, Madrid, Spain, on Aug. 31, 2020. As cases continue to go up and fuel the debate over the return to schools in parents’ group messaging chats, Spanish authorities last week issued revised guidelines for the reopening. They included making mandatory masks for students of age six or older, daily body temperature checks, hand-washing at least five times per day and frequent ventilation of classrooms. But many parents say that funding is insufficient to hire more teachers and that some schools just don't have additional space. (Andrea Comas/AP)
