ABOUT THE DATABASE PROJECT
5
The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education created this database to provide parents, educators, community leaders, state policymakers and others with information about how Massachusetts school districts plan to meet students' needs and move learning forward during the 2020-21 school year.

We have teamed up with the Boston University Wheelock College of Education and Human Development to document school districts' goals and intent. This database provides rigorously reviewed and comparable information about how school districts are approaching challenges related to meeting students’ academic and social-emotional needs and supporting parents and educators. It is intended as a resource for those interested in how other school districts are approaching this year's challenges and for those interested to understand how their experience of what is happening on the ground compares to the approaches laid out in the reopening plan.

USING THE DATABASE
7
To get started, select the "School District Information" tab at the bottom of the screen. The definitions and classification rules used can be found on the “Definitions” tab.

The information contained in this database comes from the school reopening plans that school districts submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. It captures any update to the plans that districts have made and posted on their websites as the school year has progressed. In addition, we monitor school districts' websites and social media feeds to update information on whether school districts are engaged in remote, hybrid or entirely in-person learning. Because schools' reopening plans cover all three options, the information contained in this database does not change as a result of school districts changing the balance of remote and in-person instruction. There is a link in the final column of each school districts' entry that you can follow to let us know if any information is out-of-date or mischaracterized.

This product builds on our work to document school districts' remote learning plans last spring. That product was inspired by work done at the national level by the Center for Reinventing Public Education (CRPE). CRPE continues to monitor school district reopening plans.
