Sorry that you can't read it in the photo. This is what it says: This is superintendent, Dr. Francisco Duran. Dr. Duran opted for his district, Arlington Public Schools, to open 100% virtually in the fall. Dr. Duran faced steep opposition for this change. Dr. Duran chose to open virtually to value the lives of his students and his teachers during a global pandemic. Dr. Duran prioritized the health of his students and teachers over upsetting community memebrs. In a vacuum of leadership, Dr. Duran chose the safety of his students and teachers over a possible end of his political career.
