<div><span style="color: rgb(60, 98, 142); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font size="2" style="background-color: inherit;">Earlier this summer, we introduced the five metrics we’d be looking at when making a decision about school reopening. These metrics required the state, municipalities, and school districts to each meet stringent safety requirements before schools can reopen this fall. We knew that meeting these goals would be a monumental task, but that we owed it to our students to get it right.</font></span></div>
