    Yes! Loved this piece by on creative ways to reimagine the system to be anti-fragile

    Current school reopening plans are not "one-size-fits-all". programs are continuing to adapt and be innovative, having an arsenal of contingency plans ready to provide virtual, in-person or hybrid programs to support New York's students.

    A3: Some already are doing so-afterschool takes place all day everyday-the world has changed & we need to be sure that we align school & afterschool! With all the options we need to collectively pay attention to learning loss and opportunity gaps!
