COVID-19 Resources for Schools
School and District Support from CDE
CDE's top priority is the health and safety of all students, educators and communities in Colorado. The department has compiled resources below about Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) to help provide guidance to schools and districts. Commissioner of Education Katy Anthes is also sending communications to superintendents and BOCES directors.
Schools and districts should work directly with their local public health agency and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) for guidance on COVID-19. See also: Executive Orders and Public Health Orders.
