Secretary Cardona Kicks Off "Help is Here" School Reopening Tour with Visits to Schools in Boston, Massachusetts and Laurel, Delaware

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:
