The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is , and this is what I intend to do about it.
In my opinion, the answer to that question depends upon the timeframe you choose:
ASAP: We need to get our students back in their classrooms with their teachers.
In the over 10 months since our COVID response began there has only been one case of virus transmission in our classrooms. The science shows kids are safer in our schools than they are out of school.
Short term: Assess the learning deficit of each of our students due to the district s change in instructional methods during the COVID crisis.
