A Time For Courageous Educators
As Christian educators we cannot live out of fear in this time of COVID-19. Listen to this heartfelt message from CEAI Executive Director David Schmus calling us to courageously seek first His kingdom as we consider going back to school.
CEAI Guidance: In-Person Schooling During COVID-19
This season of battling COVID while attempting to provide a meaningful education has certainly been a challenge. Many of our members have contacted us with questions that school employees have never had to face before: In order to physically open schools, can a school district mandate precautions like face masks or daily temperature checks? Can I be required to submit to COVID-19 testing, or a vaccination?
A Message From Our Director
Regarding COVID-19
David and Elizabeth Schmus of CEAI offer some hope, a practical resource, and opportunities to connect during this crisis.
An Excerpt From The Director's Report:
Director’s Report: Coronavirus fears, what is our response?

At CEAI, we are not public health experts. We do suggest you follow the best advice from those who are about preventing the spread of viruses, and be especially careful if your immune system is compromised. Here is information from the Centers for Disease Control that may be helpful. You and your administrators may also appreciate these 6 Steps for Schools from EdWeek…

Thank you Both for a timely and compassionate message of encouragement. I have only been a member of CEAI for a few months, and I believe God led me here, in my 28th year as a teacher, knowing this would be the most challenging yet. May God richly bless you as you are a blessing to others. .
