APR ESSERS Budget - Draft New This Week
Lunch rooms do not need to continue with single use trays, silverware etc.
PCR Testing: DPH is working on a feasibility plan to provide PCR weekly PCR testing for all schools K-6. Webinar scheduled for this Friday.
Ventilation Systems: All ventilation protocols stay the same.
Cleaning/Disinfecting: Surfaces are no longer considered a transmittable space. We will maintain our additional staffing and cleaning and disinfecting of high touch areas. They do not recommend mass deep cleanings.
Contact Tracing: Exceptions - for students only: Students wearing a mask and 3’ or more from another student will no longer be considered a contact.
Revised Addendum 5 & 9 will be coming soon.
Fall Sports: Anticipate a normal fall sports schedule.
Music/Band: Plan to maintain current mitigation strategies. Additional spacing, outdoors, slotted masks, bell covers etc.
Buses: Per CDC masks must be worn on public transportation including school buses.
School visitors: DPH/CSDE - Do not limit essential services. Non essential visitors may be allowed after school hours.
Isolation Rooms: No longer required. DPH/CSDE recommend to try to segregate.
Vaccination Consent Forms: Consent forms are allowed. We will work with NVHD to set up clinics in schools. (let’s think of incentives. Do they work?)
Requesting Vaccination Status: EEOC Guidance allows employers to ask employees for vaccination status and documentation. Same for students. You cannot exclude students from coming to school if they choose not to provide documentation. It is a voluntary response.
Water Fountains: Contact water suppliers to restart fountains. Try to limit filling water bottles as opposed to drinking out of fountain.
Remote Learning: See update. Remote learning will not be allowed to count toward the required 180 days. For quarantined students, remote learning will only be allowed if the Governor issues an executive order allowing such for health reasons.
Per Public Act No 21-46 the CSDE will be drafting remote learning standards by January 2022 to be reviewed and approved by the SBOE. Remote Learning will be offered, per approval of Local Board of Education plans, for the 2022-2023 school year for grades 9-12 only. |
