MDE COVID-19 Guidance Memos

Many of the guidance memos and documents the Michigan Department of Education has provided local school districts since the spring have been predicated on the governor's executive orders, or on federal waivers and guidance that may have expired due to the October 2, 2020 Michigan Supreme Court ruling.  As such, those memos and guidance documents are no longer in effect.
