In the meantime, our research librarian has compiled a list of resources that may be useful for the region’s education stakeholders.

Note: REL Northwest’s research librarian identified these resources through a review of past work conducted by REL Northwest and the Region 17 Comprehensive Center. In addition, our research librarian searched for COVID-19–related resources on the websites of state education agencies in our region, as well as partner technical support providers.
