Masked crossing guard, bus driver wait on school bus for families to pick up lunch — In this June 24, 2020 file photo, bus driver Ray Dean and crossing guard Diane Farrell wait for families to pick up the free bagged lunches at Rutland High School.

Today is the first day of school for Vermont K-12 students, and some of them are stepping foot in their school building for the first time since March. But not without trepidation. This hour, we'll check in with the Health Department and answer questions about back to school, vaccines, testing and more.

Our guests are:

Christine Finley, immunization program manager for the Department of Health
Tracy Dolan, deputy commissioner for the Department of Health

Broadcast live Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020 at 1 p.m. Rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
