Gov. Phil Scott in May, speaking at one of his administration's briefings on pandemic. — Vermont governor Phil Scott has been holding press conferences three times a week to answer questions from reporters about how he's handling the COVID-19 pandemic response in Vermont.

On Friday, June 5th at 1:00 p.m. Vermont Governor Phil Scott joined But Why Live on 开云体育 Radio for a special kid press conference. First, VPR reporter Peter Hirschfeld guided us through what a press conference is and how journalists think about what questions to ask. Then Governor Scott joined us for the rest of the hour to field questions from cub reporters.

This program is part of a collaboration with the Vermont Agency of Education to bring interactive educational opportunities to students while schools are closed.
