Webinar: An Overview of COVID Recovery, Compensatory Education, and Extended School Year Services (PEATC)

Description:

During the COVID-19 pandemic many students have faced gaps in educational services or were unable to benefit from learning due to changes in instruction. As students return to in-person learning, parents and schools are faced with the task of figuring out how to best get these students “back on track.”

This presentation will talk about the differences between COVID recovery, compensatory education, and extended school year services. The presenter will also discuss some advocacy strategies that can be used when requesting these services for your child.

Prior to her position as a staff attorney Kerry also served as a legal intern and law fellow for dLCV. Kerry graduated from the University of Richmond and the University of Richmond T.C.
