United Teachers of Dade

Guest: Karla Hernandez Mats, President, United Teachers of Dade

Mats addresses the questions about whether to open Brick & Mortar schools for the Fall school year, or to continue distance learning. She explains the lawsuit filed by the Florida Education Association to overturn the Governor’s mandate to have schools open 5 days a week. Mats talks about the concerns about Covid 19, with Florida as the epicenter of the outbreak, and Miami-Dade as the most impacted county in the state. She discusses options that allow parents to choose what’s best for their child, and needed funding for schools to be compliant with safety guidelines.
