School has shifted to distance learning for the rest of this academic year. And it’s too soon to say if in-person classes at Oklahoma schools will be back in session next fall. But State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister says educators are working carefully to prepare for any educational scenario in the fall.
"That work has just begun, but it will address many scenarios," Hofmeister said.
She says districts will ultimately decide what education looks like for themselves. But the state will share input and will put together a plan over the summer to help students prepare for whatever the situation is in the fall.
"There is a phase that we are entering into which is really going to focus on the recovery of learning loss for hundreds of thousands of Oklahoma school children," Hofmeister said.
Amid the uncertainty, educators will simply have to continue planning to figure out what school looks like and what is best for the learning and health of Oklahoma students.
