Abstract: School closure and reopening in light of the COVID-19 pandemic raise critical questions about decision making in the face of uncertainty, how best to meet the needs of children, how to keep communities safe, and how to generate evidence on each of these issues. This panel of experts in epidemiology, education, and policy will address three questions: What do we know about the epidemiology of school opening and closure and what are the most relevant factors to consider? What are the educational effects of school closure and remote learning and how can negative effects be minimized? What are the challenges of advising school districts on their responses to the pandemic?
