If he were still superintendent of the Spring Branch Independent School District, Duncan Klussmann says he’d be making two major plans right now: one for a so-called normal start to school, and another for continued disruptions.
“I think as a society, we need to develop an understanding that that’s probably going to be the reality for the next school year. There’ll be phases where things look maybe normal. And there are going to be phases where there are disruptions and you have hot spots and things may not look normal,” he said in an interview.
Klussmann retired from Spring Branch ISD five years ago and now is a consultant and assistant professor at University of Houston. He recently contributed to a blueprint for back to schoool from the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
Among its recommendations: social distancing at school.
