In Madison and Dane County, in addition to looking at heroin as a criminal problem there s also a heavy focus on heroin as it affects public health.
It might seem odd that a group which helps prevent falls among the elderly is tackling heroin. But avoiding injury and preventable death is what the nonprofit Safe Communities is all about. (In the past they ve also addressed pedestrian safety and suicide.)
Students in the Madison Metropolitan School District have been learning mostly from home since March, when schools closed as the COVID-19 pandemic became a reality here.
Hundreds of thousands of their peers around the United States are facing similar circumstances, especially in larger, urban areas. But others â both here and around the world â have returned to classrooms.
A group of Dane County parents has been advocating to change that since late this summer, with recent efforts including marches and demonstrations ahead of school board meetings in Verona and Middleton. An âOpen Dane County Public and Private Schoolsâ Facebook group has more than 1,100 members.
