Chiefs for Change and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy released a report that outlines relevant research and provides key recommendations for reopening K-12 schools when public health officials deem it is safe to do so. A bipartisan network of state and district education leaders, Chiefs for Change turned to the Institute for its expert analysis of approaches to modifying school operations in ways that can protect the health and safety of school communities and support student learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The report, titled, “The Return: How Should Education Leaders Prepare for Reentry and Beyond?,” offers recommendations in four areas that Chiefs for Change and the Institute believe will have the greatest impact on student achievement and wellbeing during this unprecedented period in the nation’s history.
