Super - since opened 17 student cases- all related to family mmebers of those 699 students quarantined. Only school approaching 5 cases is CHS. As of today we are back to 3 cases that count for the high school - will be down to 2 by Friday. Caution to the community - our cases keep going up. Might go back to Green based on those averages. Graduation will be based on the heat map and stay the course and keep cases down. Be careful, be thoughtful. Outdoor at yellow - 25% capacity. at Turquoise no problem. Green can still do indoor would possibly be Civic Center - allowing 2 people per student. Enrollment 6623 as of today. all elementary are navigating covid very well. students are out constantly. approachign coming year and needing to off 100% online school. Several will want to stay on line . 737 online. We have learned that we do a better job teaching rather than on-line. need supervision. focused on moving kids forward. plan to have teachers to provide on line instruction - align with PED standards with students receiving a full schedule right than the students using APEX. enrollment requirements 2.0 or above and no more than one F can participate. not meeting this criteria will be asked to go to school on person. enolling on line in enrichment center it will all go through them and not individual students. Teacher need will be determined upon enrollment starting with a base number and will add if needed. Sp Ed will definetely need additional staff.
