Families and educators are facing new challenges in keeping children learning during the pandemic. The constant changes especially threaten access to educational opportunities for low-income, English learner, new immigrant, Latino and Black families living in rural and urban areas.

There is good news.  Launched in September, Keep Learning California (KLC) provides tools and resources both families and educators can use to help keep elementary aged children learning and participating in school every day — and that can help ensure the educational equity gap in education doesn’t widen — whether classes are remote, in-person or hybrid. KLC is a collaborative effort involving Attendance Works, Families In Schools and Parent Institute for Quality Education.
