There is not “one best” way to reopen schools. Countries who have reopened have used a range of strategies customized to the local public health, policy, political, and regional context.
“Governor Inslee has outlined a four-phase approach for reopening the state, and individual businesses and industries will still need to craft their own approaches to re-opening. As the economy starts to reopen, the state has turned its attention to a plan for reopening schools. OSPI has convened a cross-sector taskforce to seek input and craft a plan for school reopening. To aid the taskforce, Kinetic West, supported by the WA Roundtable and Challenge Seattle, has prepared research on national and international case studies for reopening schools.”
