“The Governor and Legislature's plan delivers the resources we need to teach more students in-person, while removing barriers that have previously slowed that process,” according to L. K.

"Perhaps most critical, this plan bolsters the momentum towards reopening that we are experiencing across the state. Educator vaccinations are ramping up. Falling case rates are pushing counties into less-restrictive tiers. School districts are implementing the reopening plans they have spent months preparing. Communities and families are ready for this next step on the path to returning students and staff to classrooms.”
CCSESA represents the state's 58 county superintendents of schools.
