When COVID-19 made its way to Arizona in March, Governor Doug Ducey’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected Executive Order combined with concerns from parents and educators compelled K-12 schools to quickly transition to online instruction.
Schools meeting AZDHS guidelines for opening began resuming in-person classes as early as July. Today the list of schools transitioning back to online instruction is growing due to recent outbreaks and concerns about spikes in COVID-19 cases.
Online learning may be here to stay for a while.
The Arizona State Board of Education Arizona Online Instruction (AOI) program was designed specifically to help K-12 schools offer a formal online program.
