Kansas commissioner says schools need to rethink education

Kansas state education commissioner Randy Watson said schools will need to rethink the way they deliver education amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He said what is happening now is “not sustainable.”

Watson told the Kansas Association of School Boards on Friday that one of the best solutions is to return students for five-day-a-week learning, while keeping class sizes to fewer than 15 students with masks and social distancing.

Watson said schools may need to partner with churches and other groups to get enough room to space out students.
