LANSING, Mich. — A group of Michigan educators are rallying on the Capitol Lawn Thursday to call attention to the dangers of schools reopening and in-person instruction.
The group is made up of members of the Michigan Caucus Of Rank-and-File Educations (MI CORE), according to WLNS.
MI CORE is also in Lansing to demand more funding to protect school communities.
WLNS said educators from all over the state are expected to share their stories and demand that state and federal officials take more decisive action in addressing the public health crisis the pandemic has caused.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suspended in-person school instruction back in March. The first day of the new school year is August 25 and some schools are trying to find the right options for their students, whether it's in-person instruction, online classes or a combination of both.
