Department of Education to Host National Safe School
Reopening Summit on Wednesday, March 24 Following the passage of the
American Rescue Plan recently signed by President Biden, the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) announced more details today regarding
the virtual National Safe School Reopening Summit, which will take
place on Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at 12pm EDT. The summit program
will include welcoming remarks from First Lady Dr. Jill Biden as
well as remarks from Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel A. Cardona,
and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) Dr. Rochelle Walensky. It will also consist of three panels
that will include health experts, educators and education leaders,
and students.
“Since day one, my top priority, and a top priority for President Biden
and Vice President Harris, has been to get kids safely back into
schools full time. To accomplish this, we need to bring together
students, educators, and school district leaders to listen and learn
from one another as we work together to reopen schools quickly,
safely, and equitably, and address the academic, social and
emotional needs of our students,” said Secretary of Education Miguel
Cardona. “We are holding this Summit with the goal of sharing best
practices and connecting leaders, educators, and students from
across this country who are navigating this challenge together and
finding creative solutions to support our students and bring them
back to in-person learning. And we need to make sure we are
listening to communities who have been hit the hardest by the
pandemic. The time is now, and schools across the country must act
immediately to get students safely back into school buildings.”
The sessions of the Summit include:
-Lessons from the Field: Implementing CDC’s K-12 Operational
Strategy to Keep Students, Educators, and Staff Safe ?Leaders and
other representatives of school districts will highlight effective
school reopening approaches that have a focus on collaboration and
equity.
? Technical Assistance from CDC and ED: Implementing CDC’s Guidance
to Keep Students, Educators, and Staff Safe ? Technical experts from
CDC and ED will discuss CDC’s K-12 Operational Strategy, ED’s
COVID-19 Implementation Handbook, and other resources; answer common
question; and clarify misconceptions.
- Supporting All Students: Addressing the Academic, Social, and
Emotional Needs of Students with a Focus on Equity ?Leaders and
other representatives of school districts will share promising
strategies to support the social, emotional, and academic
development needs of students, with a particular focus on students
who have been historically underserved and who have experienced the
greatest disruption from the pandemic.
The Summit is one of a series of steps the Department is taking to
provide support and resources to schools as they work to reopen
quickly and safely. Last month, the Department released the first
volume of the COVID-19 Handbook, which provided educators and staff
with practical examples, roadmaps, and tools to implement CDC’s K-12
operational strategy for in-person learning, including the
recommended five key mitigation measures. The Department plans to
release Volume 2 of the Handbook in April. Earlier this month,
President Biden also directed all U.S. states and territories to
prioritize vaccinations of teachers and staff in Pre-K-12 schools
and childcare providers throughout this month, with the goal of all
providing these frontline essential workers with at least one dose
of a vaccine by the end of March.
More details about the National Safe School Reopening Summit,
including registration information, will be released by the
Department in the coming days. |
