Students who started kindergarten in 2020 have now had over two years of disrupted learning.
“We will have students going into third grade next year, who have not had a full school year since they started,” said state superintendent Eric Mackey. “That, to me, is a troubling fact.”
“So, for the end of this school year, we absolutely want to just focus on making sure that students leave the school year as well prepared as they can be,” Mackey said. “And make sure they leave school in May, ready for the summer and then ready to return next year,” he said.Mackey anticipates tens of thousands of students will participate in summer reading camps, STEM camps, or other programs.
