The state Senate is considering a police accountability bill that cleared the house last week. Meanwhile, parents, teachers, and students are making difficult decisions about going back to school during the pandemic. 

Lucy Nalpathanchil is working on Connecticut Conversations this week.  That show will air August 6 at 8 pm on Connecticut Public Radio and Connecticut Public Television.
