Blended learning declarations due July 1

6/12/2023

Schools and districts changing or ceasing blended learning models must submit blended learning declarations to the Department by July 1. Schools and districts do not need to submit a blended learning declaration for each school year unless there has been a change. A change could include: (1) ceasing the model; or (2) a change to which school buildings will be operating under a blended learning model.

An active blended learning declaration should only be on file with the Department if a district is going to implement a blended learning model. Districts that are not going to implement a blended learning model should submit a blended learning declaration indicating they will be ceasing the model by July 1. Schools and districts should not use blended learning on an emergency or contingent basis. 

For those continuing a blended learning model, the Department has current guidance on the website.
