School Guardians Lawsuit; COVID-19 Vaccine; What's Good Wednesdays; 1A's Jenn White

 

 

Duval County students are being transitioned back into classes five days a week.  

However, this has sparked renewed concern over armed school “guardians” being allowed to carry guns on campuses.  The Duval County Public Schools board approved allowing armed school safety assistants on campuses two years ago, which has been met with complaints from parents and a lawsuit. Bacardi Jackson, managing attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center talked with us about the ongoing situation and lawsuit.

COVID-19 Vaccine

Dr. Michael Koren, the CEO and Medical Director of the Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research, joined with his perspective on the worldwide race to develop a coronavirus vaccine.

He has started a community project to collect art supplies to distribute to five local schools, and joined us with more information.

Here's more of What’s Good this Wednesday:
