KMUW has put together a series of virtual events—Distance Socials—to help our community stay connected while safely at home. Engage ICT: Democracy on Tap has joined this effort by taking the community conversations online.

On April 2, 2020, KMUW convened a conversation on the topic of emergency homeschooling, to help address the questions and concerns many parents are now facing due to school closures. Our panelists were:

Dr. Tiffinie Irving, Deputy Superintendent of Wichita Public Schools
Dr. Jessica Provines, Director of Counseling and Prevention Services at Wichita State University
Jaimie Snider, Veteran homeschooling mom and founder of Wichita Independent Secular Educators

Here is the conversation recorded on Zoom:
