During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across the nation face challenges related to three key questions:

  1. When is it safe, based on the community infection rate, to reopen schools and conduct classes in person?
  2. What measures should be in place so that people can come back into school buildings safely?
  3. How can the health of students, staff, and teachers be protected and promoted once schools reopen?
