As school leaders faced decisions in the Spring of 2022 to scale back COVID-19 mitigation strategies, such as masking and social distancing, The ABC Science Collaborative made a blueprint, titled: “Considerations for Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Schools: Spring 2022” to help school leaders make informed decisions.
Learn more about the “Considerations for Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Schools: Spring 2022” and the path forward for schools in 2022 by viewing the materials and accessing the Masking and Mitigation Considerations Calculator below.
These materials were presented, via open forum, by Drs. Danny Benjamin and Kanecia Zimmerman on February 14, 2022. View the news story for more information.
Masking and Mitigation Considerations Calculator
To assist school districts with mitigation strategy decisions as they navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, The ABC Science Collaborative developed the Masking and Mitigation Considerations Calculator (MC2). The MC2 is based on a hypothetical model generated from mitigation strategy data at the time. By entering a district's specific size (number of students) and current community case rates (cases/100,000 population/7 days) the MC2 will estimate the impact of mitigation strategy decisions on the school district and community.
