'Joy, Excitement And Fear': Creighton Elementary District Superintendent On First Few Months Of School

Over the summer, The Show spoke with Donna Lewis, the superintendent of the Creighton Elementary School District in Phoenix, to get a sense of how she and her district were preparing for an exclusively distance-learning based start to the school year.

Now, more than two months in, she says the district is working under a combination hybrid model, with small groups of students coming back to school over the past few weeks.

But the majority of students and teachers are still online; she estimates about 30-40% of learning is happening in the classroom.

The Show checked in with Lewis for an update.
