Students and teachers alike are preparing for a school year unlike any they have experienced before.fox 55's jeremy masukevich tells us how local educators plan to overcome obstacles they're anticipating this fall.
Nat reneewe will quite probably have to adapt on the fly as needs present themselves.
Renee albright says there is more uncertainty going into her 35th year as an educator in fort wayne then any years past.sot albrgiht we will not know until the very end of this month how many pick door number one or door number two.
