As we look to the upcoming fall semester and prepare for the future of education, what best practices must schools now adopt to comply with new laws and regulations that are developing to protect educators, employees and students from the perils imposed by COVID-19?

In the past months, our educational system has been forced to recreate itself to meet its mission to educate students in a safe environment. During this recent pandemic crisis, the focus has been recently directed to complications arising from an inflammatory syndrome in children that appears to be associated with COVID-19. There is a lack of information with regard to a child’s role as a carrier of the disease. Promises of a vaccine are just that, without any concrete assurances. The pandemic has shown that educators cannot rely on our classrooms as the sole source of regularity and creativity in the education process. Group activities, as we have known them, including physical education, theater, musical performance, and labs have been effectively disabled for the indefinite future. There is a huge disparity among states and localities regarding best practices and operations.
