From supporting educators and vetting online resources to providing broadband for students, North Dakota State Superintendent and DA guest columnist Kirsten Baesler shares her state's story—including how leaders and families are working together to strengthen the home-school connection.

Educators at Legacy Traditional Schools hop on Facebook Live every morning to hold flag ceremonies for the 20,000 students in the charter system that spans Arizona and Nevada.

Education leaders are considering staggering class schedules, reconfiguring classrooms, longer school days and continued online learning to allow for social distancing.

Ironically, our best efforts to continue educating our students through distance learning may serve to widen the opportunity and achievement gaps between our student groups, says DA guest columnist Gustavo Balderas, superintendent of Eugene School District 4J in Oregon.
