(WLFI) — There's a new concern as schools look to return to a somewhat normal year this fall. Your child's education may have been affected due to how they had to adapt during the pandemic. "When we came in, you had kiddos that hadn't been in school since the end of March," said Burnett Creek Elementary third grade teacher Tami Medley.
