<\/em>UF Education Policy Research Center Policy Brief
<\/em><\/p>\n

This policy brief provides updated evidence on Florida school districts\u2019 plans for the reopening \"\"<\/em>of schools for the coming school year. Drawing on the second round of data collected as part of the UF Education Policy Research Center\u2019s Florida School Reopening Plans Database, this policy brief documents how reopening plans have changed from mid-July to the end of July. As of the last week of July, almost all districts in the state had publicly announced reopening plans, and a handful had been approved by the state. Masks were required at least part-time in about half of districts, a considerable jump from the 34% of districts that required masks in the earlier round of data collection. About half of districts had also announced plans to delay the start of the school year, and several had plans to begin the new school year entirely through remote learning. This is the second in a series of policy briefs that track reopening plans in Florida through the start of the 2020\u201321 school year.<\/p>\n
