What Our Classrooms Need Right Now
As schools across the state open parents and educators are focussed on the needs of our students. The Harvard School of Public health recently published 20 Questions To Ask Before Sending Your Kids Back To School, a set of questions for parents, teachers and school staff who may not be sure what to ask or look for at their school. In the face of overlapping crises educators are also stressing the three R’s of social emotional learning: Reconnect. Recover. Reimagine.
FEA update (Sep. 2 update): To comply with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, FEA staff will be working remotely until there is a two-week positivity rate of 5% or below.

During this difficult time, FEA is committed to advocating for the wellbeing of our members and students. We will continue to provide you information on COVID-19’s impact on the state of education, notices from the Florida Department of Education, and the end of the legislative session. Thank you and stay well.
