•	Conclusions drawn from a small sample size (n<20) should be interpreted with caution.
•	For full aggregate and segmented results, please consult the accompanying data supplement.
•	Statistically significant differences (95% confidence level) between groups are noted with an asterisk (*).

 	KEY FINDINGS: REFLECTIONS ON SCHOOL CLOSURES	
Most respondents have had a fairly positive experience with extended independent learning, but there is some concern surrounding student engagement.
•	Most respondents have had a fairly positive experience with extended independent learning.
•	58% of all respondents describe students’ experience with extended independent learning as “somewhat” or “very positive.”
Students (43%) are less likely than either staff (55%) or parents (63%) to describe students' experience as positive.
•	59% of parents and 66% of staff indicate that they have had a “positive” or “very positive” experience with extended independent learning.
•	Students and parents are most satisfied with access to devices and support from teachers, and they are least satisfied with supports for special student populations and access to school/district services.
•	74% of students and parents are “somewhat” or “completely satisfied” with support from teachers during extended independent learning, and 80% of students and parents are “somewhat” or “completely satisfied” with the access to devices they/their child received during extended independent learning.
•	49% of students and parents are “somewhat” or “completely satisfied” with access to school and/or district services (e.g., speech therapy, counseling services) during extended independent learning, and 50% of students and parents are “somewhat” or “completely satisfied” with supports for special student populations (e.g., EL, special education) they/their child received during extended independent learning.
•	Staff are most satisfied with staff collaboration and support from school leadership, and they are least satisfied with their
students’ academic progress and engagement.

staff are “somewhat” or “completely satisfied” with their students’ academic progress during extended independent learning.
•	Over half of all respondents indicate that one of the biggest challenges related to extended independent learning is student engagement (53%).
•	
 	KEY FINDINGS: REOPENING  SCENARIOS/BUS SCHEDULE	
Most respondents favor hybrid instruction for fall 2020, and they support a variety of measures and precautions to ensure student and staff safety.
•	Hybrid instruction (i.e., a mix of online and in-person instruction) is the most popular reopening strategy for fall 2020.
•	Nearly two-thirds (64%) of all respondents “somewhat” or “strongly support” hybrid instruction. This is higher than support for
completely online/remote instruction (53%) and completely in-person instruction (45%).
•	At least half of students (56%), parents (65%), and staff (69%) “somewhat” or “strongly support” hybrid instruction.
•	Parents and staff are more likely than students to support completely online/remote learning. While 53% of staff and 58% of parents “somewhat” or “strongly support” completely online/remote learning, only 35% of students “somewhat” or “strongly support” it, and 44% of students “strongly oppose” completely online/remote learning.
•	While most students “somewhat” or “strongly support” completely in-person instruction (62%), less than half of parents (41%) and staff (43%) do.
•	Respondents are in favor of various safety precautions if school reopens in fall 2020.
•	Nearly all respondents “somewhat” or “strongly support” access to temperature checks as determined appropriate (88%) and allowing students and instructional staff to continue extended independent learning for medical reasons (88%).
•	Most respondents “somewhat” or “strongly support” requiring students and staff to wear face coverings (70%), allowing students and instructional staff to continue extended independent learning for any reason (70%), and restructuring student schedules to support social distancing (76%).
•	A little under half of students/parents indicate that they/their child would use district-provided transportation if schools reopen in the fall.
•	63% of students and parents indicate that (prior to the pandemic) they planned on using school/district-provided transportation to get to and/or from school.
•	Now, only 43% of students and parents indicate that they plan on using school/district-provided transportation if schools have in- person instruction. 37% of respondents indicate that they would not use school/district-provided transportation and 20% are not sure.
•	
 	KEY FINDINGS: ONLINE/REMOTE LEARNING	
Students, parents, and staff are all concerned with how remote learning affects student engagement.
•	Student engagement is the biggest concern related to fully online/remote instruction.
•	43% of parents, 57% of staff, and 58% of students cite student engagement as being among their biggest concerns related to fully online/remote instruction.

•

•	School cleanliness (69%) and ensuring social distancing guidelines are followed (61%) are respondents’ biggest concerns
related to a return to full in-person learning.
•	Students (66%) and parents (73%) are more concerned with school cleanliness than staff members (58%).
•	Parents (64%) and staff (69%) are more concerned with ensuring that social distancing guidelines are being followed than students (39%).
