K-12 Education During a Pandemic

The COVID-19 crisis led to a near-nationwide closure of K-12 public schools. Schools are creating in-person, online or a combination of in-person and online education experiences.

IPPSR, in partnership with Michigan State University’s Education Policy Innovation Collaborative are jointly tracking crisis responses across all 50 states, and have constructed a searchable set of data to reflect educational approaches across the nation. As states and educators made fast-moving changes, IPPSR and EPIC began following K-12 response.
