Abstract	As the state and city begin to reopen following the COVID-19 pandemic, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) conducted an online Districtwide survey of parents of students who currently attend and who plan to attend M-DCPS during the 2020-2021 school year. The Reopening of Schools Parent Survey gathered information from parents regarding their preferences and attitudes toward the reopening of schools. Over 100,000 respondents completed the survey, representing over 155,000 students who will be attending M-DCPS in 2020-2021. Results from the survey indicate a nearly equal preference for the three attendance options presented to the parents (physical, distance learning, or combination). The strongest contributor to attendance preference was anticipated parental work arrangement. Moreover, parents indicated a clear preference for their children attending school all days of the week in shifts or on alternate days. These results continue to hold even when considering grade level and other students characteristics such as ESE, ELL, and gifted. Most parents agreed with a series of preventative measures M-DCPS is considering for physical attendance including temperature checks, washing hands, wearing face masks, eating meals in classrooms, and one-way movement in school buildings; less support was found for the elimination of outdoor recess. While attitudes and preferences might change as more sectors of the country begin to reopen and other developments with COVID-19 occur, the overwhelming response to this survey provided a large representative sample that is similar to the District as a whole. Survey results revealed an understanding of parent choices, including their desire to have the same option for all children in the household regardless of grade level and having their options closely tied to their work arrangement.
