CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - U.S. Senator Roy Blunt was in Cape Girardeau on Wednesday, April 7.
Sen. Blunt was at Cape Central High School for a roundtable discussion on COVID-19 vaccines and reopening schools.
He had high praise for Cape Girardeau schools.
“I think almost every parent that had kids at home this year instead of in school is a big believer in in-person learning,” Sen. Blunt said. “I think it makes a big difference. You can learn more face-to-face. You can get a sense of their interest level and their confusion level or whatever level you need to get. But I think the leadership of the school at Cape inspired a lot of the regional schools to believe they could do this too. So, we had a high propensity of people back in school from almost, almost day one this year in this part of our state. And I think that made a difference to families and made a difference to kids.”
