  • Planning for the 2021-2022 School Year Florida Continues To
    State Board of Education Richard Corcoran Commissioner of Education Andy Tuck, Chair Marva Johnson, Vice Chair Members Monesia Brown Ben Gibson Tom Grady Ryan Petty Joe York MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Richard Corcoran DATE: April 14, 2021 SUBJECT: Planning for the 2021-2022 School Year Florida continues to outwork and outperform the nation in the number of students receiving a high-quality education in an in-person educational setting, and our success has been rooted in schools, districts and the state implementing learned best practices and constantly relying on science and evidence. Throughout the successful reopening ofour schools for in-person instruction, we have consistently provided families with the ability to make educational decisions that are in the best interest oftheir children. Our efforts ensured parents had the ability to choose from multiple learning modality options for the current school year, with the option to transition to new modalities when their child may have required another option to ensure they were achieving adequate progress. Florida has once again proven that one-size-fits-all policies do not meet the unique needs ofindividual students or their families. Therefore, we should continue to make surgical - not sweeping - decisions to mitigate large-scale educational disruptions as we are planning for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. As you reflect on the current school year and look ahead to 2021-2022, an example ofa one-size-fits-all policy are the mandatory face covering policies in some districts and schools. Upon reviewing the policies of those districts with mandatory face covering policies, reviewing all districts relevant health data, and factoring in such data points as the percentage ofstudents learning in-person and the relative population of a county (which is often synonymous with a county's community health resources), the data shows us that districts' face covering policies do not impact the spread of the virus.
