Jill and i have just been briefed, as you know, in this room by our Public Health and education experts about what it will take to be able to reopen schools safely and effectively. Backtoschool has always been a special time. Mind, all then yearsjill and i were married, she was going back to school as a teacher. She would be the first one to tell you this should be a season of promise for our country. When classrooms are crackling with the possibilities of the new year. Students hopes. Hope about the future. This year, we are facing the most difficult circumstances. We are seeing a lot of heart and grit from our educators, students to try to rise to the occasion.
