Overview

<p>Consistent with the President’s Executive order titled ‘‘Supporting the Reopening and Continuing Operation of Schools and Early Childhood Education Providers,’’ the U.S. Department of Education (Department) is requesting information to enable teachers, faculty, staff, schools, districts, institutions of higher education (IHEs), early childhood education providers, other places of educational instruction, and States to share lessons learned and best practices for operating safely and supporting all children and students, including children and students with disabilities, English learners, racial and ethnic minorities, and other underserved children and students, teachers, faculty, and staff during the pandemic.
