Schools across the country have been in session for a few weeks now whether that means a school bus is transporting children to a physical building or a child is turning on a computer in their bedroom. Districts in all corners of the country including suburban, rural and urban, have developed multiple plans to figure out how to make the 2020-2021 school year happen. Words like hybrid, remote learning, asynchronous, synchronous, and cohorts have shown up on Education webinars and Parent Town Halls for months.

Map: Where Are Schools Closed?
State-by-state map from Education Week (@educationweek)of where school buildings are open or closed updated as new information becomes available.

Los Angeles, home to the nation’s second-largest school district, is moving forward with an ambitious plan to test all staff members working in person at its schools and their children and to conduct contact-tracing for any positive results. https://t.co/LmGVvOWCdj
