Georgia's K-12 Restart and Recovery

Super. Woods on USED's decision not to grant testing waivers for 2020-2021 school year: "It is disappointing, shows a complete disconnect with the realities of the classroom, and will be a detriment to public education."

Effective June 2, 2021
The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), in close alignment with CDC and other federal guidance, has developed updated guidance to help you keep track of the significant, ongoing changes and new available supports for K-12 schools and school-based programs across Georgia.

Per DPH, updated guidance replaces the “Georgia’s Path to K-12 Recovery” document and should be used by district school leaders and health directors moving forward. School leaders can still use the Recovery document and other GaDOE resources to support the implementation of various instructional models and provide educational supports, but public health directives will be coming from DPH moving forward. ​
