KDE seeking family input on what supports they need due to COVID-19 crisis

(FRANKFORT, KY) – In preparation for the reopening of school for the 2020-2021 school year, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) would like to better understand families’ and caregivers’ experiences with distance learning last school year due to COVID-19.

KDE is seeking input from families across the state in a brief survey on the challenges they experienced during the implementation of non-traditional instruction during this past spring. This survey will help KDE plan for possible future periods when student learning occurs at home and provide supports to schools and districts in engaging families during the upcoming school year.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and will be open through June 24.

If you are an adult family member or caregiver who was responsible for a child or children during the period of distance learning during the 2020-2019 school year, KDE invites you to complete the survey found at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HBL38TN.
