An update on the Resiliency Framework for schools

EASTERN OREGON – (Information provided by Oregon Department of Education) The Resiliency Framework prioritizes student and staff health and well-being through care, connection, and the creation of safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments. As summer progresses, planning for a return to full-time, in-person instruction this fall is generating both excitement and stress for many of us. I’m grateful for your steady presence for Oregon’s students and families through the challenges and shifts of the last school years, and look forward to our collective success in keeping students safe, healthy and learning during the next school year.
When the Resiliency Framework was initially shared on June 25, 2021, we outlined key pillars that remain constant:
- All schools will operate full-time, in-person instruction every day.
- School districts and charter schools may continue to offer online programs for students at their discretion.
- All of the Resiliency Framework is advisory guidance, except where compliance is mandated by existing state and federal law.
- School district leaders are empowered to make local decisions about health and safety protocols and mitigation strategies that best serve students and staff in their community.
- The Resiliency Framework replaces Ready Schools, Safe Learners version 7.5.2 and applies to the 2021-22 school year. The framework may also be used for 2021 summer school.
