There are only five states that have not closed yet all schools: Idaho, Iowa, Maine Nebraska and Wyoming.
WASHINGTON — Beyond the health effects and the impact on the economy, the coronavirus has created a long tail of impacts in the United States and the world, and one of the biggest impacts has come in education. The number of K-12 school closures has skyrocketed in the last few weeks with a great deal of uncertainty about when the virus may be tamed and when normal school days will resume.
For lower-income children, the closures equal a double challenge as free and subsidized school lunch programs figure how to provide what is an essential service for many students. And for high school students, particularly juniors and seniors, there is a question of getting the credits needed to graduate and, in some cases, take the Advanced Placement tests that will allow them to receive college credit for their classwork.
“The College Board will be as flexible as possible to give students the best chance to show their skills and stay on the path to college,” the organization said in a statement. “We have recently announced that any student currently registered for an AP Exam is invited to take the exam from home this June. We’re working to give every AP student the opportunity to claim the credit they’ve earned.”
