Legislators and staff, and those who work with them, need timely information on the impact of COVID-19 on state education systems and policy options to meet the challenge. The NCSL Education Program is kicking off a series of virtual meetings—two every week—on the most timely topics to meet your needs. These meetings will feature NCSL staff and other experts. Participants will also have the opportunity to share what’s happening in their state, ask questions, and let NCSL staff know how they can be of further assistance.
The meetings are open to all legislators and staff and NCSL partner organizations. Contact Michelle Exstrom for information on how to join.
