Dear Colleagues:
Vaccine rollout has expedited school reopenings. In fact, as of April 6th,
nearly 80% of teachers, school staff and childcare providers were vaccinated. As of May 17th,
AEI’s Return to Learn Tracker showed that more than half of the nation’s school districts have returned to fully in person learning. Only 1% continue to learn in fully remote settings, and 46% learn in a hybrid learning environment. The largest strides to return to in-person learning occurred in Florida and Iowa where 100% of school districts have completely returned to in-person instruction.
