Policy #61: COVID School Closures Harmful

For (qualified): Emergency Order DOE 2020-EO-06 required brick-and-mortar schools to reopen (Jul 6, 2020, for August reopening). Florida DOE Emergency Order 2020-EO-06 (fldoe.org)

Listed in the research as: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL); Ed. Commissioner Richard Corcoran

Verdict: Extended closures were bad for society. The learning, earnings and equity costs were large and lasting, and the health benefit for children was small.
