It was a sunny day in Kyiv, Ukraine when Oleksandr Popruzhenko, a 20-year-old senior lieutenant in the Ukrainian army, was training a group of 15 soldiers on the proper way to lob a grenade. Shortly into the training session, a de-pinned grenade fell short and rolled into a nearby trench.

As COVID-19 cases surge across the country, school and district leaders are looking for clear and consistent guidance on the safest ways to reopen school facilities while minimizing infection risk for students, teachers, and staff in K-12 schools.
In response to that demand, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Consortium for School-Based Health Solutions, with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, have launched a series of online educational modules that aim to help school and district leaders plan for and implement in-person instruction when they deem it safe and appropriate to do so. These modules will also help schools and districts that are already open assess their current COVID-19 prevention strategies.
