Getting Back to School: An Update on Plans from across the Country
Gross, Betheny; Opalka, Alice; Gundapaneni, Padma
Center on Reinventing Public Education
This brief gives a snapshot of how school districts across the country are currently planning for fall 2020, how they are planning for contingencies of COVID-19 spread, and how this varies based on district characteristics. From August 17-21, we reviewed district websites, social media, and local news to collect data from a sample of 477 districts that provide a statistical representation of all districts across the U.S. This sample includes most of the large school districts that Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) has tracked on a weekly basis throughout the pandemic, but also includes 399 additional districts. We apply statistical weights to provide a nationally representative sample. Key findings include: (1) Almost half of the nation's school districts will be returning to full in-person instruction; (2) Students in rural communities are far more likely to have access to fully in-person instruction than suburban and city students; (3) Students in the highest-poverty districts are the most likely to start the year in remote learning; and (4) Most districts have outlined plans for how remote learning and in-person learning might look this year.
