ATLANTA, GA Atlanta Public Schools presented a draft version of its academic recovery and school-based intervention plan at its school board meeting Monday, designed to make up for the learning loss from last March s school closures due to the coronavirus pandemic and for students attending summer school, mandatory attendance could be included.
The plan will begin in June and continue over two years, according to Chief Academic Officer Yolonda Brown. Beginning with the district s most vulnerable students, the plan includes a Summer Academic Recovery Academy with in-person and virtual options, as well as the district s previously-established power-up programming and the implementation of a districtwide school-based intervention block.
