Video: ‘Making the Grade,’ 4.7.20

Kevin Richert | 04/07/2020

From our broadcast partners at KIVI 6 On Your Side, here’s the video link for this week’s “Making the Grade” segment.

The segment has been on hiatus since March — when the coronavirus outbreak put on-set TV interviews on hold. So, for the time being, we’ll continue the segments over Zoom, airing on KIVI and Idaho Education News’ Facebook pages each Tuesday.

This week, Michelle Edmonds and I break down this week’s State Board of Education decision on K-12 school closures, and we talk about how to read Idaho’s coronavirus case numbers.
