The schools abruptly closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and children started to learn remotely which has created unintended consequences of learning delays and learning loss. How much depends on access to remote learning, quality of instruction, home support and degree of engagement. The Education Presentation provides data on how the pandemic has effected the schools and students located in our municipality, challenges we are facing and proposed strategies to help prevent further learning loss.
