CINCINNATI (FOX19) - School districtsâ plans are being put into action after Gov. Mike DeWine called on them to find ways to help students with the learning gap created by the pandemic.
While each districtâs response to the educational shortfalls created by the pandemic is similar, the social issues created are being addressed in different ways.
âWhenever you have kids that have been out of school for about five months, as we had for all of our students coming back in-person, we knew that there would be some adjustments getting back into their routine at school, especially for our youngest kids,â said Lakota Executive Director of Curriculum Instruction Keith Koehne.
