The Hunt Institute SUPPORTING STUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 COVID-19 has disrupted society’s daily routines. As schools across the nation close, childcare services are suspended, and social distancing becomes the new reality for the foreseeable future, our nation’s education system is being uprooted. Given these unprecedented events many are wondering what they can do to support families and students that rely on the education system to provide more than just learning. The following are some of the major consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that The Hunt Institute is tracking. Food Security Millions of students across the country rely on school for at least one meal a day – and in some cases receive three meals a day from their school. With schools being shut down, it is imperative that we continue to support these families that rely on this service, especially with many hourly employees’ jobs being cut back in response to the pandemic. A number of barriers exist limiting the ease of access to food for students that need it, including: • School eligibility is a concern; according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only schools and groups that usually serve meals during the summer months are eligible for federal support to feed students during emergency closures. In areas where less than half of children are economically disadvantaged, school systems will only be reimbursed for meals provided to children in households that qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Unfortunately, this may not be enough to meet the needs of all students that need support. A full list of flexibilities that are available under U.S. Departmet of Agriculture programs can be found here. • For those who live in communities where support is offered, transportation to pick up provided meals is often a barrier, especially in rural communities. • Daily contact with students and families at meal pickup sites still provide opportunities for the spread of COVID-19. Some families might be concerned that this will put them at risk of contracting the virus. In many states, including North Carolina, state leaders have announced that strategies to distribute meals will be determined at the local level, and schools across the state have moved to provide food for students in need. When approaching schools, community partners should look to incorporate the following best practices: • Schools have identified designated community pickup locations, such as community centers, apartment complexes, or school bus stops, and are using school buses to transport meals to these locations. Additionally, some schools plan to deliver a limited amount of meals door-to-door. Volunteers and community agencies could assist in staffing pick-up sites and delivering food. • Schools have strategically approached scheduling pickup times for student meals. By providing multiple days’ worth of meals in each bag and only allowing one adult or older student per family to pick up meals, districts are able to maintain suggested observe social distancing norms. • Restaurants in North and South Carolina have begun offering free meals to students while schools are closed. • In addition to direct support for student meal initiatives, supporting local food banks through donation food drives can provide another level of support to combat food scarcity. Oportunities for Support • Support coordination across school districts, community organizations, and local businesses are key to ensure students who need access to food during school closures receive it. This can include: • Increase the availability of meals at strategic community locations to overcome traveling barriers. • Support local food banks that provide food for students in schools that aren’t eligible for federal funds. • Help disseminate information about programs and other efforts to students and families.
The Hunt Institute SUPPORTING STUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 Access to High-Quality Instruction With news of statewide school closures emerging quickly, teachers, parents, and students found themselves without the necessary time to plan effective, high-quality learning opportunities for students while schools are closed. Teachers did not have time to create and distribute packets of materials to take home. While many suggest pivoting to virtual learning is the obvious solution, it neglects the fact that some students don’t have access to the appropriate technology or internet at home and that many teachers are not trained to execute lessons in this manner. Schools lack the infrastructure to make this transition and holding students accountable for their work is a challenge. For younger students especially, online learning requires a degree of parental involvement to ensure that students stay on task. Further, online learning is not equitable for students with disabilities that need additional support or differentiation to master skills and content. Nationwide, schools and other organizations have sought innovative ways to approach increasing high-quality options for students while schools are closed. Some approaches include: • For schools and districts that have the technological capacity to ensure that every student has access to online materials, districts must provide additional training and support for teachers and parents on how to use tools such as Zoom, Google Classroom, and discussion boards. • On Sunday, March 15, Mariah Morris, the 2019 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of the Year, convened more than 80 educators from across the state on Facebook Live to discuss how educators can respond during school closures. Beginning on Monday, March 16, the North Carolina Teacher of the Year cohorts will begin rolling out instructional videos on Morris’ YouTube channel. At 9 a.m. each day, an elementary lesson (grades K-5) will be posted, and then at 9:30 a.m. each day, a secondary lesson (grades 6-12) will be posted. Teachers across the state are encouraged to submit similar videos to increase the volume of resources available to students. • A number of excellent resources already exist online. By aggregating such resources with an eye to content and grade level, students and parents can be provided with a list of places they can go to find age appropriate lessons that can serve as stop gap while schools are closed. This can also include tablet apps that provide academic support. A number of organizations have started to compile lists; one good starting place is from Swing Education. Additionally, schools and other organizations are attempting to help students secure the technology and internet access that they need. Some efforts include: • In Colorado, one school offered Chromebooks and paper copies of schoolwork for pick-up at the school for students to use during the break. Schools often lack basic resources like copy paper and toner to produce weeks’ worth of assignments at a large scale. By supporting schools in acquiring the necessary materials and the delivery of hard-copy materials, either directly to student’s homes or to more other community locations, we can ensure that students don’t get left behind when schools are closed. • Organizations like the Kramden Institute give students laptops they can use at home through a donation- and volunteer-based program. • One barrier that persists for children and adults is whether they are accessing current and accurate information. By working with companies like Charter Communications or Comcast an effective media campaign can be created so that those who are in need of the internet at this time are able to access it within the programs that have been established. The same goes for those who already have internet access, but struggle to pay their bills due to a lack of employment during this pandemic. Opportunities for Support • Compile resources for parents (both instructional and general coronavirus related support) and partner with organizations that can provide access to materials through technology. • Work with partners to help get the requisite hardware, such as laptops and tablets, into the hands of studets who otherwise do not have access to them at home. • Connect with organizations to spread verified information about low-cost or no-cost internet solutions for households.
The Hunt Institute SUPPORTING STUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 SUPPORTING STUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 Childcare As childcare facilities and schools across the country close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many families are struggling to find childcare so they can continue to work. Medical professionals, service industry employees, and other essential staff are not able to do their jobs remotely and must continue to report to work. For these families the urgency to keep their children safe during this time is crucial because their normal routine has been severely interrupted. H.R. 6201, from the U.S. House of Representatives, provides supplemental assistance to families and employers who must take leave during this pandemic and affords them the ability to pay workers at a set rate, in some cases upwards of 70 percent of their salary. This applies not only to people who have become infected with the virus, but also their caretakers. This bill is especially important for families whose childcare facility has closed because of coronavirus, as well as those who work at these closed facilities. The next step is to get the bill approved in the Senate. • Museums and Zoos across the country are offering remote learning opportunities, allowing for tours and lessons for students at home over the next few weeks. • The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has partnered with local television stations to broadcast educational programming to students while schools are closed. Additionally, LAUSD will receive training in using PBS Learning Media, a national resource that offers additional content to support educational assignments alongside PBS programming. • Education companies who specialize in virtual education opportunities like K12 and BrainPOP have offered their services for free over the next month. Khan Academy, a nonprofit who already offers free online lessons and quizzes, created a page aimed at helping new users get started if they are facing school closures It will be critical to leverage teachers, local education organizations like museums and libraries, education companies that specialize in virtual learning and local public television outlets to increase access to these high-quality education opportunities. Opportunities for Support • Work with states to provide support, as needed, to ensure that emergency/temporary child care programs being created for emergency, service and medical employees are safe and appropriate. • Advocate for the needs of the early childhood workforce, many of whom work at an hourly rate and without employer- provided health care benefits. • Support the creation of online resources designed for parents at home with young children. Additional Resources Many organizations have begun to compile valuable resources. • PIE Network: Rapid Response Resources: COVID-19 • Chalkbeat: Latest Coverage • US Department of Education: Information and Resources for Schools and School Personnel • US Department of Education: Providing Supports to Students with Disabilities • Starr Commonwealth: COVID-19, School Cancellation, and Trauma • NCDHHS: Interim Guidance for Child Care Settings • Common Sense Media: Resources for Parents to Prepare for Coronavirus School Closures • We Are Teachers: Free Online Learning Resources for Teaching Your Students Virtually

Hunt Institute

  • 1.
    The Hunt Institute SUPPORTINGSTUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 COVID-19 has disrupted society’s daily routines. As schools across the nation close, childcare services are suspended, and social distancing becomes the new reality for the foreseeable future, our nation’s education system is being uprooted. Given these unprecedented events many are wondering what they can do to support families and students that rely on the education system to provide more than just learning. The following are some of the major consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that The Hunt Institute is tracking. Food Security Millions of students across the country rely on school for at least one meal a day – and in some cases receive three meals a day from their school. With schools being shut down, it is imperative that we continue to support these families that rely on this service, especially with many hourly employees’ jobs being cut back in response to the pandemic. A number of barriers exist limiting the ease of access to food for students that need it, including: • School eligibility is a concern; according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only schools and groups that usually serve meals during the summer months are eligible for federal support to feed students during emergency closures. In areas where less than half of children are economically disadvantaged, school systems will only be reimbursed for meals provided to children in households that qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Unfortunately, this may not be enough to meet the needs of all students that need support. A full list of flexibilities that are available under U.S. Departmet of Agriculture programs can be found here. • For those who live in communities where support is offered, transportation to pick up provided meals is often a barrier, especially in rural communities. • Daily contact with students and families at meal pickup sites still provide opportunities for the spread of COVID-19. Some families might be concerned that this will put them at risk of contracting the virus. In many states, including North Carolina, state leaders have announced that strategies to distribute meals will be determined at the local level, and schools across the state have moved to provide food for students in need. When approaching schools, community partners should look to incorporate the following best practices: • Schools have identified designated community pickup locations, such as community centers, apartment complexes, or school bus stops, and are using school buses to transport meals to these locations. Additionally, some schools plan to deliver a limited amount of meals door-to-door. Volunteers and community agencies could assist in staffing pick-up sites and delivering food. • Schools have strategically approached scheduling pickup times for student meals. By providing multiple days’ worth of meals in each bag and only allowing one adult or older student per family to pick up meals, districts are able to maintain suggested observe social distancing norms. • Restaurants in North and South Carolina have begun offering free meals to students while schools are closed. • In addition to direct support for student meal initiatives, supporting local food banks through donation food drives can provide another level of support to combat food scarcity. Oportunities for Support • Support coordination across school districts, community organizations, and local businesses are key to ensure students who need access to food during school closures receive it. This can include: • Increase the availability of meals at strategic community locations to overcome traveling barriers. • Support local food banks that provide food for students in schools that aren’t eligible for federal funds. • Help disseminate information about programs and other efforts to students and families.

    The Hunt Institute SUPPORTINGSTUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 Access to High-Quality Instruction With news of statewide school closures emerging quickly, teachers, parents, and students found themselves without the necessary time to plan effective, high-quality learning opportunities for students while schools are closed. Teachers did not have time to create and distribute packets of materials to take home. While many suggest pivoting to virtual learning is the obvious solution, it neglects the fact that some students don’t have access to the appropriate technology or internet at home and that many teachers are not trained to execute lessons in this manner. Schools lack the infrastructure to make this transition and holding students accountable for their work is a challenge. For younger students especially, online learning requires a degree of parental involvement to ensure that students stay on task. Further, online learning is not equitable for students with disabilities that need additional support or differentiation to master skills and content. Nationwide, schools and other organizations have sought innovative ways to approach increasing high-quality options for students while schools are closed. Some approaches include: • For schools and districts that have the technological capacity to ensure that every student has access to online materials, districts must provide additional training and support for teachers and parents on how to use tools such as Zoom, Google Classroom, and discussion boards. • On Sunday, March 15, Mariah Morris, the 2019 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of the Year, convened more than 80 educators from across the state on Facebook Live to discuss how educators can respond during school closures. Beginning on Monday, March 16, the North Carolina Teacher of the Year cohorts will begin rolling out instructional videos on Morris’ YouTube channel. At 9 a.m. each day, an elementary lesson (grades K-5) will be posted, and then at 9:30 a.m. each day, a secondary lesson (grades 6-12) will be posted. Teachers across the state are encouraged to submit similar videos to increase the volume of resources available to students. • A number of excellent resources already exist online. By aggregating such resources with an eye to content and grade level, students and parents can be provided with a list of places they can go to find age appropriate lessons that can serve as stop gap while schools are closed. This can also include tablet apps that provide academic support. A number of organizations have started to compile lists; one good starting place is from Swing Education. Additionally, schools and other organizations are attempting to help students secure the technology and internet access that they need. Some efforts include: • In Colorado, one school offered Chromebooks and paper copies of schoolwork for pick-up at the school for students to use during the break. Schools often lack basic resources like copy paper and toner to produce weeks’ worth of assignments at a large scale. By supporting schools in acquiring the necessary materials and the delivery of hard-copy materials, either directly to student’s homes or to more other community locations, we can ensure that students don’t get left behind when schools are closed. • Organizations like the Kramden Institute give students laptops they can use at home through a donation- and volunteer-based program. • One barrier that persists for children and adults is whether they are accessing current and accurate information. By working with companies like Charter Communications or Comcast an effective media campaign can be created so that those who are in need of the internet at this time are able to access it within the programs that have been established. The same goes for those who already have internet access, but struggle to pay their bills due to a lack of employment during this pandemic. Opportunities for Support • Compile resources for parents (both instructional and general coronavirus related support) and partner with organizations that can provide access to materials through technology. • Work with partners to help get the requisite hardware, such as laptops and tablets, into the hands of studets who otherwise do not have access to them at home. • Connect with organizations to spread verified information about low-cost or no-cost internet solutions for households.

    The Hunt Institute SUPPORTINGSTUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 SUPPORTING STUDENTS THROUGH COVID-19 Childcare As childcare facilities and schools across the country close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many families are struggling to find childcare so they can continue to work. Medical professionals, service industry employees, and other essential staff are not able to do their jobs remotely and must continue to report to work. For these families the urgency to keep their children safe during this time is crucial because their normal routine has been severely interrupted. H.R. 6201, from the U.S. House of Representatives, provides supplemental assistance to families and employers who must take leave during this pandemic and affords them the ability to pay workers at a set rate, in some cases upwards of 70 percent of their salary. This applies not only to people who have become infected with the virus, but also their caretakers. This bill is especially important for families whose childcare facility has closed because of coronavirus, as well as those who work at these closed facilities. The next step is to get the bill approved in the Senate. • Museums and Zoos across the country are offering remote learning opportunities, allowing for tours and lessons for students at home over the next few weeks. • The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has partnered with local television stations to broadcast educational programming to students while schools are closed. Additionally, LAUSD will receive training in using PBS Learning Media, a national resource that offers additional content to support educational assignments alongside PBS programming. • Education companies who specialize in virtual education opportunities like K12 and BrainPOP have offered their services for free over the next month. Khan Academy, a nonprofit who already offers free online lessons and quizzes, created a page aimed at helping new users get started if they are facing school closures It will be critical to leverage teachers, local education organizations like museums and libraries, education companies that specialize in virtual learning and local public television outlets to increase access to these high-quality education opportunities. Opportunities for Support • Work with states to provide support, as needed, to ensure that emergency/temporary child care programs being created for emergency, service and medical employees are safe and appropriate. • Advocate for the needs of the early childhood workforce, many of whom work at an hourly rate and without employer- provided health care benefits. • Support the creation of online resources designed for parents at home with young children. Additional Resources Many organizations have begun to compile valuable resources. • PIE Network: Rapid Response Resources: COVID-19 • Chalkbeat: Latest Coverage • US Department of Education: Information and Resources for Schools and School Personnel • US Department of Education: Providing Supports to Students with Disabilities • Starr Commonwealth: COVID-19, School Cancellation, and Trauma • NCDHHS: Interim Guidance for Child Care Settings • Common Sense Media: Resources for Parents to Prepare for Coronavirus School Closures • We Are Teachers: Free Online Learning Resources for Teaching Your Students Virtually
