Planning For On-Campus K-12 Education During Covid-19

Abstract

The complex decision-making regarding reopening of schools compels careful thought, planning, and collaboration, within and across communities. Through this document, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition provides clarifications, interpretations, and estimates that can be used as a resource by school leaders to develop and implement plans for returning to on-campus learning, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This document summarizes guiding principles and lessons learned, to provide current information (as of publication date) as well as additional resources to facilitate discussions and decisions regarding return to on-campus learning policies. The reopening of schools-either to virtual or on-campus learningis approaching quickly. Communities should give particular consideration to the socioeconomic challenges and disparities within their districts; the need for transparency in development and implementation of plans; and the provision of funding and resources to schools, teachers, and other school staff to ensure safety and efficacy of on-campus or virtual-learning environments.
