CRPE: District Responses to COVID-19 School Closures - including @mcps

The Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) is one of the nation’s leading sources for transformative, evidence-based ideas to improve education. To ensure all students are prepared for a rapidly changing future, we put forward rigorous research and policy analysis to help educators, policymakers, civic and community leaders, parents, and students themselves reimagine education systems and structures.

We are a nonpartisan research center open to all possible solutions to measurably improve outcomes for all students. We work in the creative center across ideological lines to achieve strong, equitable schooling at scale, empower families, and inform and encourage effective governance...

District Responses to COVID-19 School Closures

More than 100,000 public schools across the country have closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many are expected to remain closed for weeks, and in some cases, for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. This project will track how districts shift instruction, student support, and organizational operations. 

To create this database, we searched for as many district publicly posted plans as we could find via the Council of the Great City Schools, Chiefs for Change, and crowdsourced recommendations. (Please note that this is not a representative sample.) We currently present information for 82 districts, aiming for a range in size and geography, and serving nearly 9 million students.

We will update this database continuously, and will keep adding districts and metrics studied. This is a preliminary review of only publicly available information from district websites and media reports, which are changing hourly. It is not exhaustive, and district plans continue to evolve rapidly as we collect data.

We strive to provide information that is accurate, complete, and current, but we realize district plans are changing rapidly. If you have questions, or see information in our database that needs updating, please contact CRPE Editorial Director Travis Pillow, tpillow@uw.edu...
