On Tuesday and Wednesday, March  30-31, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will kick off the “Help is Here”  School Reopening Tour, where he will visit schools in Boston, Massachusetts and  Laurel, Delaware.  The visits are part of the Biden Administration’s  broader efforts to support states, schools, students, parents, and educators as  they navigate returning to in-person learning and highlight how the American  Rescue Plan will aid them in these efforts. In the days and weeks ahead,  Secretary Cardona will visit schools that have successfully reopened and stayed  open to highlight best practices and discuss how schools can ensure reopening  efforts are advancing educational equity. He will also visit schools that are  facing challenges as they work to reopen, to provide them with support and  technical assistance. Secretary Cardona will share what he is hearing and  learning on the visits with other states and districts and across the  Biden-Harris Administration, to help more schools reopen quickly and safely and  reach the President’s goal of reopening the majority of K-8 schools within the  first 100 days of his administration.
The first two visits will consist  of stops in Boston, Massachusetts on Tuesday, March 30, and Laurel, Delaware on  Wednesday, March 31. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the events will be pooled  press. More details can be found below:
