CONNECTICUT, USA — As Connecticut plans to reopen schools and send students back in the fall, the Connecticut State Department of Education released a helpful tool for parents.
On Friday, the CSDE released a Frequently Asked Questions guide for parents, students, and staff to better understand the state's plan.
The 11-page guide covers a variety of topics ranging from school year attendance to size restrictions on cohorts to transportation questions.
Lamont spent a good portion of his press conference Thursday talking about education. He said he is confident the state will have a back to school plan ready to go that will allow children to return to the classroom safely come fall.
According to health officials, this fall could bring a resurgence of COVID-19 activity and if it does Lamont said Connecticut school districts will be ready to protect students, teachers, and staff.
“We’ve shared that [back to school plan] with public health professionals trying to get that point of view on how we’re doing and how I can convince parents and how I can convince teachers, everything we're doing, we’re putting their public health first,” Lamont said.
