here's what school officials are saying about hopes for the ambitious program. >> often times, detroit public school district is not looked to as a leader. i really think this is a space we have shown leadership, not only in our academic reform and work we're doing there, but in safety, our approach to covid safety. i think there are things other districts could learn from us. >> reporter: and chris, the question here is why are so many districts not doing this when detroit is doing this against all of the odds. the cdc says that school districts would be doing this, the governmental oh indicated $10 million for school districts to do this, yet it isn't happening in other parts of the state. we know there was a big outbreak in the spring due to student athletes. the city is now mandating all athletes have to be doing this.
