DESCRIPTION:REOPENING SCHOOLS: Whether, How, When?\n\nCan schools be reopened safely 
 with the pandemic out of control? Why do several prestigious scientific and 
 public health organizations push for reopening schools (the National 
 Academy of Sciences; the American Academy of Pediatrics; the Centers for 
 Disease Control) -- do they really know, is their advice really unbiased, 
 and anyway is this really a strictly scientific decision or is it a social 
 decision to be based on overall well-being?\n\nWhat will be necessary for 
 schools to reopen safely? Can we learn from the experiences of other 
 nations and communities around the world? This talk will take up these and 
 other related questions -- trying to provide answers to some, and to 
 promote dialogue on others.\n\nJACK GERSON is a retired Oakland teacher who 
 thinks about issues related to education, politics, public health and the 
 pandemic -- and every once in a while still writes or speaks about them. 
 Before retiring, he was on the executive board and bargaining team of the 
 Oakland teachers union (OEA). Among other things, he helped organize OEA's 
 campaign to bail out schools not banks and end foreclosures, and the Occupy 
 Oakland education committee's 18 day occupation of Lakeview Elementary in 
 2012 to protest school closures. He also has graduate degrees in public 
 health (MPH and PhD in biostatistics).\n\nJoin Zoom
