Abstract	In fall 2020, parents found new ways to help their children learn amid uncertain school-district plans for school re-openings. The defining feature of the new education landscape emerging from the pandemic is that many families are no longer waiting for school-district solutions, and are giving themselves permission to choose how and where their children learn when assigned schools are closed, including finding--or creating--new learning opportunities. Research on the economic impact of school closures underscores just how important it is to continue student learning. Not all students stopped learning in March 2020. Parent and student instructional choices during the pandemic are changing the defining features of assigned-school education offerings, increasing private school opportunities, and adding new learning options such as creating pods and microschools. Members of three distinct groups--(1) the traditional public school sector; (2) the charter school and private school sector; and (3) parents--faced the same pandemic and responded in measurably different ways. This "Backgrounder" reviews the reactions, experiences, and plans for the future of the three stakeholder groups of these K-12 learning alternatives, and explains what these choices mean for the future of students' academic success.
