Covid Infor. ATION The Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education (ADECE) supports in-person instruction for all students with remote learning offered to students in the event a student is excluded due to COVID-19, a site or class is closed due to COVID-19, or a school system delays opening for in-person instruction due to COVID-19.
