Little Rock teachers won’t show up for in-person classes

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – The Little Rock teachers union says its members won’t
show up for in-person classes due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus in
schools. The Little Rock Education Association said Sunday its members are
willing to teach classes virtually, but accused district administrators of not
doing enough to prevent the virus’s spread. The superintendent of the
state-controlled district said it was taking additional steps to ensure schools
stay open for in-person instruction. Arkansas is requiring its public schools to
stay open for in-person classes five days a week, though they can also offer
virtual or hybrid options. Schools reopened Aug. 24.
