We appreciate the Governor and DESE working with AAEA to address the concerns of superintendents. District leaders will review many data points and will work with ADH to determine best practices to ensure learning occurs as well as protect students and staff from outbreaks.

The announcement today to allow local decision makers the flexibility to modify their schedules is a much needed step in the right direction. District leaders can use multiple data points, including ACHI data, to determine which instructional delivery method is best for kids.
