The new academic year is scheduled to start within the next few weeks. Public school leaders are grappling with how to bring kids back to the classroom safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. What about smaller, private schools. Is their job easier?

WSIU's Brad Palmer talked to Carbondale New School director and lead teacher Kathy Compton about how her school – an independent, not-for-profit private school for students from Pre-K through 8th grade-- is getting ready for the start of the new year.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
