    Abstract: On January 21, 2021 the President issued Executive Order 
(E.O.) 14000 to assist members of the educational community in each 
State in safely reopening schools for face-to-face instruction and 
ensuring schools remain open. E.O. 14000 directs the Department to make 
widely available and easily accessible a variety of resources from the 
field and Federal agencies and technical assistance to support their 
dissemination and use. The hub for these resources will be the 
Clearinghouse described in E.O. 14000. The Department's Office of 
Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) will lead development and 
implementation of the Clearinghouse in partnership with other ED 
offices and relevant Federal agencies. At the heart of the 
Clearinghouse will be the lessons learned and best practices collected 
from schools, districts, States, and institutions of higher education 
from across the country.
