The Charlotte Post Foundation will host the "Back To School During COVID-19 webinar Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

Attending secondary school during a pandemic challenges Charlotte area students and parents alike. Black Lives Matter Charlotte plans a forum for voicing frustrations about education and proposing possible solutions.

The webinar “Back To School During COVID-19” is scheduled for Sept. 24, at 7 p.m.

“Attending classes in this Covid-19 atmosphere presents many challenges and results in more than a few ramifications,” said Gerald Johnson, publisher of The Charlotte Post and president of The Charlotte Post Foundation, which operates Black Lives Matter Charlotte.

“The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools currently operate virtually-only while private and charter schools run in a variety of ways, from in-person to virtual and a mix of the two,” Johnson said.

Presenting views at the seminar will be CMS board Chair Elyse Dashew; Mecklenburg County Manager Dina Dioro and Gregory “Dee” Rankin, CMS Equity Committee member and education chair of the Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Dedrick Russell of WBTV News will moderate.

Attendees will have an opportunity to make statements and ask questions virtually. Those who wish to join the discussion should register at http://tcpfdn.org/BLMC_reg.

The discussion will operate only remotely. Admission is free, but those who wish to attend must register at the above address to receive a link to the webinar.
