Return to Learn: School Reopening Guidance
The 2020-21 school year will likely include short-term disruptions in response to COVID-19. As a result, it is important that schools plan contingencies for day-to-day operations that balance education with safety in the midst of a global pandemic.
The resources provided below are meant to assist district and school leaders as they make decisions that are in the best interests of their students and staff.
