Newsy Investigation: Schools Lack Clear Protocols For COVID-19 Updates

Newsy found issues in 33 states where parents are struggling to get updated information from their children's school districts.

Sara Leathers doesn't want her son Andy to join the nearly 800 kids who have died from COVID-19. While the majority of child COVID cases aren't fatal, the risk is higher for Andy as he is immunocompromised.

"Had COVID been handled correctly, had all of this not snowballed the way that it has, then this would've been his second year to physically go to school," Leathers said. "Instead, he's still at school homebound."
