EAB: Managing School Communication During COVID-19
Schools aren’t just moving classes online. They are also developing and communicating contingency plans for a situation that is rapidly evolving. EAB is focused on supporting schools and communities through the COVID-19 crisis.
The Company is working closely with universities and community colleges to help them plan and communicate their COVID-19 responses and updates with stakeholders. Additionally, EAB has developed a resource center to help guide higher education and K-12 schools through the crisis.
Within the resource center, schools can quickly and easily access information and requirements from public health organizations and education associations. Administrations can also get insight into how other institutions are communicating potential risks and planning for outbreaks.
