As Districts prepare re-entry scenarios for the fall 2020 and the State works diligently to issue updates on guidance, the BSA K12 Educational Design Community has organized a dialogue for Educational Leaders to exchange thoughts on their plans, discuss the range of challenges and ask questions. We hope that this will be the first in a three-part series, with session two to be timed for discussion on post-entry realities and session three as a brainstorming session to focus on what might be lasting changes to the way we design schools.
As the initial session could reach very high participation, the format will open with a panel discussion, including highlights from MSBA and DESE representatives joined by a few School District representatives to share highlights from their own plans. We will follow by opening the session to comments and questions.
