q2 · i? · associational · r2
Descriptive survey of New York charter schools conducted in May 2020 asked schools to rank areas of attention and urgency as building closure approached; the report states that "factors related to student well-being were at the bottom of the rankings" even though urgency was high across the board. The accompanying table prints average urgency ratings from 2.97 (transitioning instructional model) down to 2.17 (housing and shelter).
"Perhaps surprisingly, factors related to student well-being were at the bottom of the rankings, although still elicited serious concern from schools."
