THREAD: New data from the #Return2Learn Tracker! @AEI's @natmalkus continues to follow how school districts across the United States are changing and adapting to the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic. /1

#R2L data reveal that in-person instructional offerings keep growing. By February 22, more districts offered fully in-person options than any time since the beginning of November. /1

There are stark differences in offerings by urbanicity. Fully remote rural districts are now in the single digits at 8%. By contrast, urban districts have more than triple the proportion at 29%, & suburban have more than double the proportion of fully remote districts at 20%. /2

#R2L data also reveal big variations in plans across states. California currently has the highest proportion of fully remote districts at 60%, while four states have zero percent fully remote districts—Nebraska, Nevada, Florida, and Utah. /3

The proportion of districts with “aggressive” reopenings—districts that are fully open despite high COVID-19 cases—is shrinking rapidly because of declining COVID-19 rates. /4

Visit the #R2L dashboard to see more striking patterns and weekly measures. We are indebted to @ChrisMarsicano and the entire @C2Initiative team for their partnership in developing this tool. /End. returntolearntracker.net
