Staff and students who are high-risk themselves or who live with someone in this category should be allowed to continue 100% remotely.  I'm not sure what this means for confidentiality since these people would be "segregated"

Curriculum must be prioritized to accommodate realistic expectations given limited face-to-face contact. The mile wide, inch deep approach isn't realistic and doesn't support mental health.

A transmission metric should be set (ex. less than 1) and schools operate in person only as long as that metric is met. Testing and tracing is needed to have the information needed to make decisions about school status.

If a school is open “part-time,” we need a plan for how to help families with child care needs. Provide physical spaces with social distancing at low or no cost? Use CARES Act money? Or CARES Act money for families who need to or choose to keep children home and are not able to work (unemployment $)

# data[].attributes.body
We need to think through social distancing scenarios for school. So far the best one seems to be 4 days on-site and 10 days off (so one week at school and one week virtual learning, but no students at school on Fridays (remote only Fridays). Allows for deep cleaning and teachers to prepare remote learning). (This scenario is same contact time as 1/2 day or two days a week.)

# data[].attributes.body
We need to consider how many kids would be max allowed per classroom or perhaps square foot. And does that vary by age (does ability to keep space change by age?).

# data[].attributes.body
Consideration...Should staff be given the option to work remotely even if they aren’t considered high risk? This would eliminate confidentiality issues about medical conditions. Perhaps they have a family member who is high risk or perhaps they don’t find the on site risk worth it. Should staff be surveyed ahead to get an idea of who would be willing to be on-site vs those that only comfortable with remote?

Educators need time to plan. We need a better plan tha what we’ve done for the end of the 19-20 school year. It is a stressful time for everyone. Teachers are under more stress than ever. They are working even more hours than before and juggling caring for dependents. Consider no students on-site and no virtual contact on Fridays for planning time. Consider sharing work loads e.g For elementary- on a grade level one person plans/records A subject for whole grade level. Maybe planning or virtual lessons are shared within a district. For middle and high school maybe responsibilities are shared across the district. E.g if someone is the only person teaching a subject at their school they have teachers at other schools share planning responsibilities or co-teach virtually.

Consider hiring part-time teachers to help with work load. Particularly thinking for virtual learning planning, recording lessons, meeting students virtually. Use CARES act funds?

Safe  and healthy (Social distancing, sanitizing, healthy meals provided) child care options in the community for families that must work and have no other options. Subsidized through CARES ACT?

# data[].attributes.body
Should families have choice of virtual or face to face? Should we survey families to get an idea of preferences (including preference for virtual only, face to face only? Hybrid? Choice of days etc? What are the implications for equity, grading, testing?

# data[].attributes.body
If we allow only a small number of students in the classroom at a time, how does that look. 1/2 students learning remotely while 1/2 learning in class. How about classroom materials (pencils, paper, books, etc)?

# data[].attributes.body
Could we survey staff to see who would be more comfortable teaching remotely at this time and maybe allow some teacher to go into school while others teach from home?

# data[].attributes.body
It doesn't seem possible to have students come to school on busses. How would you keep them 6 ft away? Sterilizing seats and handrails. How about walking off the bus into the school, keeping distance seems very difficult.

We need to think through how our speech & language pathologists will operate. How will they and their students be protected and still be able to have their students look at their mouths when they are pronouncing sounds and words? Special face masks/shields? Install something like plexiglass like we are seeing in grocery stores? Will they be able to deliver speech & language services remotely? What about OTs?

Students need to get the education they deserve including young children reading with the teacher, speech & language services, OT, small groups with general education teacher and/or special education teacher. How will we provide that safely for them? Will we have to go to only one-on-one only instead of groups. Would it be safe, feasible, or even worth it to install something like the plexiglass we see in grocery stores in classrooms to allow for working more safely with children. Small group or only 1:1? Will students be required to wear masks? Will teachers be required to wear masks? What will the protocol be if someone refuses not to wear one?

# data[].attributes.body
We will need to get proper safety equipment for teachers to accommodate students  who are deaf or hard of hearing and can benefit from seeing the teachers lips. What will our policy be for students (or staff) who have sensory issues and cannot wear masks?

# data[].attributes.body
We are professionals. We work hard. We also have limits. Our families and our health (physical and mental) should be more important than going above and beyond as a "superhero teacher." I want to be treated like a person who does their job without the pressure to save everyone or sacrifice myself. I hope that makes sense.

This one feels sort of insurmountable. Our buildings have been struggling and lacking for so long. Now we have to ensure that they are cleaned intensely daily and that they are properly ventilated.

On buses, each bus would reguire an additional adult to monitor the social distancing.

# data[].attributes.body
We will need a plan in place to accommodate children of teachers if students are at school part time but their parents who are teachers must be their full time. I know this is an issue that all parents will be faced with but it should be the school systems responsibility to help with solutions for their staff. Will their be a safe place in the school with social distancing where staff children can do remote learning. Who would supervise? Will they be allowed in a corner of the classroom to do remote learning on the times when they are not required to be at school?

# data[].attributes.body
It is clear that if we do have in-person school, we cannot all be in the building at once. So, where can kids go outside of school? Child Care Workers have alsways deserved higher pay, but now it is a must if we are asking them to take on a bigger risk.

Staff who are high risk will need to be able to comtinue to work in a meaningful way that does not endanger them. Virtual teaching for high risk students?

I was not sure which section this should go under. We need a plan in place for when teachers are sick or need a sub under any circumstances. Will we feel safe having substitutes that move from room to room or building to building from day to day?

Even if we break classes of students into smaller groups, will we as educators feel safe to be in the building daily exposed to all of those students?

# data[].attributes.body
Will all students need to have the same amount of on-site time in a classroom. Does it need to be with their own teacher? Could part of a class be with an IA, other support personnel? specialists? Perhaps the youngest learners need more direct time with their teachers while learning to read. Is it appropriate for older students to have less face time?

# data[].attributes.body
Some people have mentioned perhaps HS students are better adjusted and able to do remote learning and have proposed we use some space from HS or perhaps middle school if students are doing remote learning more for students who need more teacher class time. I'm not sure if this is the best option, but I think we need to brainstorm all ideas even if they are "outside of the box" - what about high school students taking virtual classes at other schools? Consider regrouping midyear? Kids belong to a grade level and get to know all teachers through virtual learning and perhaps get a class assignment once we can get back into the buildings full time.

# data[].attributes.body
We need a plan for our Specialists. We need to keep them safe. Will they be safe traveling from room to room? Will it be safe for students to travel to them? (How would they sanitize?) Will they need to teach remotely? Some unique out of the box thinking? Can they help support classrooms in academic ways? Will specials be able to operate in traditional ways e.g. can students run around and share equipment in PE? Can students sing and share instruments in Music? Is it safe to checkout library books. Should we be sharing computers in a tech lab? Can students share art supplies safely?
