30 JULY 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: A group of students walk up Grand Ave. to the Governor's Mansion in Des Moines. About 45 high school students from across Des Moines marched from downtown to the Governor's Mansion to protest Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds' proclamation ordering Iowa schools to reopen to in person classes despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The students stood in front of the mansion and chanted before staging a "die in" in the street. The Governor's order mandates in person instruction rather than on line or a mix of on line and in person. Several school districts have indicated that they will disregard the Governor's orders and reopen with a hybrid system or mostly on line. The Governor will allow districts to apply for a waiver if the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection rate is more than 15% in their community. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
