Abstract	When the pandemic forced schools to move online, no one was prepared. It was a true crisis, but out of crisis often comes innovation and discovery. That is exactly what a fall 2020 nationally representative survey from the American School District Panel, a collaboration between RAND, CRPE, Chiefs for Change, and Kitamba, found. A RAND report presented the main survey findings, with a compelling headline: "Remote Learning is Here to Stay" (see ED614143). It found that nearly one in five districts planned to create, expand, or maintain online learning after the pandemic is over. Districts also reported a commitment to retaining an emphasis on social-emotional health and well-being. A deeper dive into the open-ended responses from district and charter network leaders reveals more detail about what district leaders have discovered in this crisis that they want to keep. In this report, Robin Lake summarizes themes from the 218 total open-response items to the question, "Did your district adopt any innovative practices in response to COVID-19 that you anticipate continuing in future years, even after the pandemic has passed?" The results complement RAND's quantitative data and make meaningful contributions to understanding what America's school systems leaders want people to know they are hopeful and concerned about.
