Upgrading ventilation systems is a key way schools can reduce the spread of the coronavirus when campuses reopen, but some districts in California are finding the cost of those upgrades to be insurmountable.

During seven years of weekly interviews about leadership with more than 300 leaders in Upstate New York, I usually ask about the region’s attributes. I pose questions like: What do you see as Upstate’s strengths? Why have you chosen to live and work here? What would you tell naysayers who don’t see opportunity here and only complain that problems are overwhelming?
Wayne Dixon, age 90, was born on March 20, 1930, in Yukon, Mo., to Charley and Nora (Chambers) Dixon, one of 10 children. He passed away on Dec. 21, 2020, at Houston House.
