Educating students one year into the COVID-19 pandemic has seen in many ways restructuring in the way students learn.
For 2020-21, schools have done a variety of in-person, hybrid or remote learning, based on COVID-19 cases and the comfort level of families, depending on the trends at the time.
On March 13, 2020, school districts were given the task of shifting in-person learning to remote education for what ultimately turned out to be the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
Slowly, schools are working toward, or have reached, a return-to-learn plan that includes in-person learning again. Plans have been alternately praised and panned, based on opinions that students need to be with their peers in a safe manner at school, or that placing students together would potentially be a “super-spreader” of the unpredictable COVID-19 virus.
