With Michigan schools encouraged to resume in-person learning by March 1 and winter sports reauthorized, school is starting to look more familiar. But with students having been separated from school support systems for so long, a new council is tasked with examining how the state can help students recover.
The new Student Recovery Advisory Council, comprised of 29 members with a variety of educational, medical and labor backgrounds, will make recommendations on how to help students recover. Those recommendations will include addressing students’ academic, physical and mental well-being.
