In an interview on March 27, Governor Whitmer commented that it was ‘very unlikely’ students would be returning to classrooms this school year. This statement raised many questions and concerns among Michigan educators, students, and families.  Although we wouldn’t be the first state to close schools, we recognize such an executive order will add additional strain to our schools and their stakeholders, in order to address continuity of learning during this national emergency.

Round 3 of Leader2Leader on Thursday, April 2 beginning at 1 pm will focus on the role of building administrators in leading stakeholders during the extended school closure. Click here to register for this free interactive webinar.
