School Reopening Plans and Reported Cases of COVID in Schools<\/p>\n

F. Chris Curran, PhD
Lelydeyvis Boza
<\/em>UF Education Policy Research Center Policy Brief
<\/em><\/p>\n

Like schools worldwide, schooling in Florida has changed drastically this year because of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Almost all Florida school districts reopened this year with an in-person option guided by local reopening plans that aimed to create safe learning environments. UF\u2019s Education Policy Research Center tracked the development of these reopening plans as part of the Florida School Reopening Plans Database. Now that schools have reopened, this policy brief examines how characteristics of reopening plans relate to reported cases of COVID in schools through October 24th<\/sup>. The results in this brief, while correlational, suggest that practices including beginning the year entirely remote and requiring masks are related to lower COVID rates in schools.<\/p>\n
