Update on District Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Discussion of Center for Disease Control (CDC) Guidance
In response the COVID-19 pandemic, JCPS students have spent the first semester of this academic year learning remotely under Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI). District leadership has closely monitored data regarding COVID-19 in our community, and has relied upon evolving guidance from local, state, and national officials for an appropriate response for PreK-12 education. New information and guidance arrive frequently, and the Superintendent must keep the Board, JCPS staff and families, and the community informed regarding the planning and implementation of the District’s response.
