By Brooke Saias — July 2, 2020 4:14

Second in a series of three videos, two school nurses are able to finally return to their schools — a high school in Virginia and a middle school in Maryland — to close down their clinic for the year after being away since March.

Brooke Saias is a video producer for Education Week, working to tell stories about the impact of education on communities.
