As soon as those words came out of Governor Kelly’s mouth, you could  \nnearly hear the collective gasp of every person across the state, most especially educators,  \nstudents, and families. This executive order made Kansas the first state in the nation to close  \nschool buildings until the end of the school year. It was a drastic, courageous, and controversial  \ndecision made by Governor Kelly, via close consultation with the Kansas Commissioner of  \nEducation, Dr. Randy Watson. The decision was viewed by many inside and outside the state as  \nan overreaction to the pandemic, just another example of government overreach, and  \njeopardizing the education of students while putting undue pressure on families during a crisis.  \nThe critics weren’t aware of all the deliberations ahead of the decision, including consulting with  \nthe country’s top health official, Dr. Anthony Faucci, as well as all county health officers and  \nschool officials all across the state. Over time, the Governor’s decision proved to be a wise  \ndecision as virtually all school buildings in the United States closed soon thereafter and remained  \nclosed throughout the rest ofthe school year.  \nAn announcement of this magnitude for schools obviously was unprecedented and left educators  \nacross the state scrambling to completely pivot to a remote learning model. The purpose of this  \narticle is to share the experiences of secondary schools that are part of the Kansans Can School  \nRedesign initiative as they navigated through a remote learning environment during the last  \nquarter of the 2019-2020 school year. Those experiences will be in the context of three questions  \nposed to secondary educators engaged in the School Redesign initiative:  \n1) In what ways did the partaking of the Kansans Can School Redesign affect your school's/district's transition to Continuous Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic?  \n2) (A) Before the pandemic, what specific redesign strategies was your school/district able to continue employing during Continuous Learning that enhanced student learning? (B) During the time school buildings were closed, in what ways did the  \nstrategies noted in your response for (A) help students to continue to learn and grow?  \n3) As you reflect back on the last quarter of the 2019-2020 school year, what makes you  \nmost proud about your staff, your students, and your families?  \nThe Governor’s announcement to close school buildings for the rest ofthe school year came in  \nthe middle of the week Kansas schools were initially closed due to COVID-19.
