U.S. school districts have taken widely varied approaches to reopening public schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The divergence stems from the highly localized approach to both schooling and addressing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and differences in COVID-19 transmission rates among communities. To develop a national picture of school districts' needs and approaches to school reopening, the RAND Corporation, in consultation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Center on Reinventing Public Education, Chiefs for Change, the Council of the Great City Schools, and Kitamba, fielded its first survey to the new American School District Panel (ASDP) from September through November 2020. By offering traditional school district superintendents' and charter management organization (CMO) directors' views, the report complements findings from four prior surveys of teachers and principals about their experiences navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. It is hoped that it will be useful to districts, state departments of education, education support providers, instructional content developers, policymakers, and researchers. The report describes the American Educator Panels (AEPs), the profile of districts that participated in the survey, and the survey results, and provides a brief conclusion.
