This is the executive summary for "The Road Back: Restart and Recovery Plan for Education." The COVID-19 pandemic impacted every aspect of people's lives. As New Jersey looks to the future and plans for students to return to schools in-person this fall, they must recognize and prepare for the ways the virus and necessary public health response has changed and will change the way students learn. This Restart and Recovery Plan provides educators and administrators with the information necessary to ensure that schools reopen safely and are prepared to accommodate students' unique needs during this time. The Plan presents guidance related to four key subject areas: (1) Conditions for Learning; (2) Leadership and Planning; (3) Policy and Funding; and (4) Continuity of Learning.
