The 2019-2020 school year was severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and, without the right preparation and intervention, the 2020-2021 school year stands to put the continuity of children’s education further at risk. Our most vulnerable students stand to lose the most and are more likely to fall behind — and in some cases stay behind — if planning doesn’t take place with their needs and challenges in mind.

Stand for Children has identified evidence-based actions school districts can take to keep the academic success and emotional well-being of students at the forefront as decisions are made ahead of the incoming academic year.
