As British Columbia's K-12 sector shifts from pandemic response to recovery, it is important to recognize students, staff and families have been impacted in many different ways and that some of the longer-term impacts of the pandemic are yet to be realized. Work is already underway across the province, with schools, school districts and community partners taking action to identify these impacts and put necessary supports in place, and these recovery activities will continue throughout the year ahead. This guide provides direction to boards of education and independent school authorities to deliver educational programs and supports in line with provincial pandemic recovery efforts in the 2021/22 school year by: (1) Clarifying provincial expectations; (2) Providing guidance across a number of key topics; and (3) Including links to additional information and resources that can support local decision-making and communication. Boards/authorities are encouraged to apply a compassionate and trauma-informed leadership lens in their recovery planning -- one that places people (and their mental and social-emotional well-being) at the centre and that recognizes the importance of meeting students and staff where they are. This guide, and the "Provincial COVID-19 Health & Safety Guidelines for K-12," will be further updated in August 2021 to address additional topics and resources.
