A Crisis In Education: Schools Can’t Reach Thousands Of Children

During its first week of distance learning, Clark County School District in Nevada ? which serves about 320,000 students ? made contact with about 309,000 kids via email, phone calls or “progress demonstrated through a learning management system,” a spokesperson wrote HuffPost. That still leaves around 11,000 students the district was unable to reach.

Atlanta Public Schools reported that after the first two weeks of school closures, about 84% of students in pre-K through 12th grade had logged in to any district application daily. Over 6,000 kids have failed to get online.

In Los Angeles, 40,000 high school students have not been in daily contact with their teachers, and 15,000 have failed to complete any schoolwork since schools closed on March 16, according to the Los Angeles Times.
