Returning to In-Person Instruction for K-12 Schools
Strategic Vision and Tactical Tools
Reopening schools for in-person instruction is a national priority for the benefit of children, families, and the economy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a resource, Operational Strategy for K-12 Schools Through Phased Mitigation, with recommendations based on the best available evidence to enable schools to open safely and remain open. On this call, we will provide a brief overview and highlights from the resource followed by presentations on complementary tactical tools crafted by leadership from NIH’s RADx Tech initiative. These include: WhenToTest.org calculator, K-12 Playbook, Implementation Guide, and Test Connector.
