Abstract
During the 2020/2021 school year, kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools in under-resourced communities were more likely to close due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and students in these schools missed more in-person learning days.1 Evidence collected during this time demonstrated in-person learning for all K-12 students could be conducted safely with layered prevention strategies.2 In August 2021, most U.S. school districts opened with 100% in-person learning. Despite a decrease in cases after the start of fall semester, cases among school-aged populations again increased in December prior to the winter break due to the highly transmissible B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant.3.
