Firsthand Experience: The Effects the COVID-19 Pandemic Had on Students (KYEdStorytellers)

In this second episode, hosts Caroline and Addison lead a roundtable discussion with the Get Schooled team exploring student perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, their recent politicization and the impact on Kentucky schools. This episode is part of Beyond the Ballot: Student Stories of Civic Engagement, a collaborative journalistic package by KSVT’s storytelling team aiming to tell the complex stories of how students in our Commonwealth are engaging with civics inside and outside of the classroom.

KY students discuss education equity, student mental health, getting through NTI and so much more affected by COVID-19 and social distancing, and what comes next.
