K-12 Education Recovery Task Force
K-12 Education Recovery Task Force
How do we move our students, schools and educators forward amid the coronavirus pandemic?
The SREB K-12 Education Recovery Task Force is convening leaders from 16 states to collaborate on strategies for reopening public schools following closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Together members will examine the many issues districts and schools will face as schools resume instruction – either in-person or online.
The task force’s highest priority is addressing how to meet the academic, emotional and nutritional needs of students. The group will seek solutions to prepare for a possible COVID-19 resurgence and future emergencies and tackle other key issues, including:
- Students’ academic growth and any possible learning loss
- Equity and opportunity for students during and after the crisis
- Using federal stimulus funds effectively and managing state budget priorities
- Access to broadband and the use of technology
