DISCUSSION ITEMS

Overview of DRAFT Preliminary School Reopening Plans

Superintendent Green explained the parameters set by the state: masks, social distancing, hygiene, health screening, and cleaning. He then provided a draft district plan that included schedules, health screening, meal services, teaching and learning, transportation, calendar modification, and other miscellaneous items. The administrative team has been working very hard to create the draft plan, but there are still many more pieces to the puzzle to solve. Lastly, Superintendent Green explained that there are still many unknowns, so this plan will very likely change by the end of August.
