What is Agora’s Health and Safety Plan for the 2020-21 school year?
The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) requires all schools to create a Health and Safety Plan. As a cyber charter school, daily operational procedures for instruction and support of students provided by teachers, specialists, Family Coaches, etc. are virtual and therefore will continue as normal. The following Health and Safety Plan is designed to address only the reopening of the school’s main office and the provision of in-person services.
