SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- We're just over a month away from San Francisco public schools returning to full-time in-person instruction on Aug. 16.
With the countdown on, there are still a lot of questions. Tuesday, the school district will hopefully answer them during a town hall.

There will be three different meetings this week in English, Spanish and Cantonese. They are for families and teachers as the district prepares to welcome students back for full-time in-person learning.
"We are looking forward to welcoming all students back in the fall, and appreciate the support from UCSF to ensure our families and staff are ready for a safe return," San Francisco Unified Superintendent Dr. Vincent Matthews said in a statement.
Educators say they will discuss the safety protocols that will be in place, the science behind the transmission of COVID-19 and state and county guidelines.
