During the last few months of the 2019-2020 school year, Breakthrough Schools, along with schools across Ohio, were shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Breakthrough’s model education leaders began meeting virtually to create the initial virtual learning plan, and established a suggested schedule for remote learning, identified select online resources, and built out core structures. This grew into the 2020 Breakthrough Distance Learning Plan. The Plan outlined remote working expectations, family outreach plans, and device distribution. We made sure that every student had a working device and internet access to participate in the program. 500 hotspots were purchased to be distributed to families in need, and we connected with local organizations to assist some of our families in gaining online connectivity. Breakthrough offered distance learning plans through the end of the school year and plans to continue to offer online resources over the summer for our students.The Breakthrough Scholars’ Victory Fund was established to lead us to positive outcomes as we navigate this unfamiliar terrain. Donations from the Victory Fund are being used to provide the technology necessary for our current and new families being enrolled.  This is guaranteeing them the chance to continue to learn remotely throughout the summer and into the 2020-2021 school year.We are making sure that EVERY family in our network has access to the best education under the circumstances and the Breakthrough Scholar’s Victory Fund is helping to make that possible!
