As districts continue to prepare for the upcoming school year, we know that many of you are planning with the Considerations for Reopening Mississippi Schools document, released in June. Please note that your District Restart and Recovery Plans, as approved by the local school board, are to be posted on district websites no later than July 31, 2020. We understand that districts will need to update these periodically as circumstances change.
While these plans are approved locally, the MDE is collecting some information to be reported at the state level. Last week, we shared a District Restart and Recovery Plan Guidance and Summary that includes some useful resources, as well as a number of questions for which we will collect information via an online survey later this month. The survey to collect this information will be emailed to superintendents. Responses are due by July 31, 2020.
For technical assistance with the survey, please contact Xi Guo at xguo@mdek12.org.
