Board Item - C.-1. |
| | | | | | | | Issue:
Modification of district’s Reopening Plan metrics and benchmarks.
Superintendent's Recommendation:
* Approve modifying the July 23, 2020, Reopening Plan metrics and benchmarks to state that the district, after consulting with medical professionals, would move to Stage 2 Reopening two weeks after the district has sustained the following metrics for two weeks across the average of district zip codes: 1) 14-day case rate of less than 200 and positivity rate of below eight percent; until these metrics are met, in consultation with medical professionals, the district shall continue in Stage 1, and provide in person small group supports in accordance with the California Department of Public Health Cohort Guidance.
Analysis:
On July 23, 2020, the board reviewed the district’s Reopening Plan. The document provided a general overview of the instructional and operational components for reopening schools, including plans and preparations for reopening schools once the state and local health conditions allow. Within the plan, the district established check-in points for the assessment of community metrics to determine the timeline for transitioning from distance learning towards a reopening of campuses via various Phases of Reopening.
In advance of the November 30, 2020, decision point, staff will provide the board an update on: 1) current community, state and local health conditions, 2) distance learning, 3) CAREs Act spending, 4) small group cohorts and athletic conditioning, and 5) additional resources being utilized to provide additional supports to mitigate learning loss and better assess distance learning.
