Will there be updated content in the PSCs this year for partners / CBOs, specifically that ensures that if in person programming is happening (during school or after school), and CDC / SPS guidelines end up forcing all of us to return to strictly digital learning (Zoom / Teams), that us as CBOs will be allowed to continue providing online programming? I ask as two of our contracts were cancelled with no recourse in Spring 2020, cutting us off from many families (even though we were also providing online programming at the same schools in other capacities); which also resulted in a $26,000 loss of contracts with no recourse or resolution.
