DENVER â Denver Public Schools leaders announced plans for a return to full in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year. While a remote option will also be available, the district is hoping most students, especially young learners, will have an experience similar to pre-pandemic schooling.
One big question is whether students eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccines will be required to get the shot before they can return to school. Dr. Steven Federico, director of general pediatrics at Denver Health, said discussions will start taking place over the next few months, but for now DPS does not anticipate requiring the shot.

Editorial cartoons for May 2, 2021: Biden’s big speech, Giuliani search, vaccine hesitancy
Today 5:00 AM

President Joe Biden’s address Wednesday to a socially distanced joint session of Congress is a popular theme in this week’s batch of editorial cartoons. Biden used the speech to take credit for the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, and to make a case for his multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure and child care plans. Bill Bramhall of the New York Daily News drew the president as Mary Poppins singing about a tax increase to pay for universal pre-k.
The Republican response was delivered by Sen. Tim Scott, R-South Carolina, who criticized Biden for being divisive and his infrastructure plan as a “liberal wish list of big government waste.” Michael Ramirez of the Las Vegas Review-Journal picked up on that theme, drawing Air Force One dropping wads of I.O.U.’s on the country below.
• Harold Border current chief of Orange County High Schools in Florida;
• Frederick Heid current superintendent, Community Unit School District in Algonquin, Illinois;
• James McIntyre, Jr. assistant professor of practice and director of the Center for Educational Leadership at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville;
• Michael Ramirez deputy superintendent of Denver Public Schools in Colorado;
• Nakia Towns deputy superintendent of Hamilton County Schools in Chattanooga, Tennessee
About a dozen or so people attended the interview sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, while about four dozen people gathered for Thursday evening’s meet and greet at the Jim Miles Center in Highland City.
Editorial cartoons for April 25, 2021: Chauvin guilty verdict, climate confab

After a three-week trial, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder in the May 2020 death of a handcuffed George Floyd. Video evidence presented in court (and previously seen worldwide via social media) showed Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds until he died.
Several editorial cartoonists juxtaposed the image of Lady Justice with variations on Floyd’s anguished plea, “I can’t breathe.” Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader drew a lopsided tally of police misconduct verdicts. “One for me,” Lady Justice says to an officer in riot gear. “What’s the score?”
