DCPS seems to be ignoring questions about hazard pay - how will Ballou empower us by pushing for fair compensation for IPL teachers?

# data[].attributes.body
DCPS mentioned this morning that all classrooms would receive mobile HEPA devices. Can admin confirm that Ballou has received these devices?

# data[].attributes.body
How universal we talking when it comes to sizes ?

# data[].attributes.body
Will standard employee professional dress apply? Will Tennis shoes/sneakers be permitted?

# data[].attributes.body
Will the N95 respirator or a standard mask be provided as part of PPE?

# data[].attributes.body
When will parents be made aware of Ballou's plan and given the option to send their kids back to school? I thought a survey was suppose to be given to them.

# data[].attributes.body
How will the numbers of students who are electing to return to school impact the teachers who have been notified that they are IPL? For example if only 25 students elect to return for a particular grade level, does that mean all IPL teachers would not have to return.

# data[].attributes.body
Will there be one or two teacher desks in co-Taught Classrooms?

# data[].attributes.body
It was noted during our initial reopening meeting that it is our responsibility to ensure that students not within each pod do not enter our classroom so as not to mix student exposure. If doors will be kept open for air circulation, how will this be communicated to students?

# data[].attributes.body
Outside of desks and spacing, what are the other expectations for classroom setup?

# data[].attributes.body
The district has identified that on 1/28 students will need an asynchronous learning plan or a substitute; which should we plan for?

# data[].attributes.body
If lunch is being held in the classrooms. I am assuming that its the teacher job to cover lunch. So, when will the teachers will have lunch?

# data[].attributes.body
How will the mask and other equipment be guarded. Are they individually wrapped for safety?

What will eating lunch in the classroom look like, since mask will need to be removed?

# data[].attributes.body
Are we increasing health staff to conduct these entry protocols? What happens if our health staff ends up in quarantine?

# data[].attributes.body
Will we be expected to stay in the building during our planning periods, or are we allowed to return to our homes?

# data[].attributes.body
What does entry look like for staff? Is it one door? How many staff will be doing temperature checks? How long does it take to process each staff member? Will we still have to sign in every day in the book? How does this affect LEAP that starts at 8:30, when our arrival is 8:30?

# data[].attributes.body
What happens to students between staggered entry and start of instruction`? Or will they all show up last minute, which may delay/distract start of instruction, in-person and virtual instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
For instance, I have a cough one day, possibly due to allergies. I can't report to work? Is that a sick day or virtual day?

# data[].attributes.body
We are REQUIRED to contact a healthcare provider if we have a symptom? Will DCPS be paying for any relevant fees? This could get expensive if I have to go to the doctor every time I have a sniffle.

# data[].attributes.body
Will co-teachers be in the same classroom together even if they don't co-teach all 3 classes together? E.g. If I have the same co-teacher for 2 class periods but teach my own class for one class period

# data[].attributes.body
What about behavior issues. Students don't want to wear masks, don't want to stay in the classroom, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
My understanding of our reopening plan is that we will be monitoring students who are participating in virtual learning, both in our courses and in other courses. If this is the case, is this considered a CARES classroom as well as in person instruction, and should we be in training for both? (Or you can please correct me on our instructional plan :) )

# data[].attributes.body
What happens to different cohort members before or after passing the doors doesn't matter ... same for virtual learning days. So my question is: in what extent do all our important measures taken inside have a relevant impact in the long term? or for the overall picture?

# data[].attributes.body
How does this look for us. We see students who are in different classroom?

# data[].attributes.body
What staff are required to remain to help support the staggered dismissal of students? Will staff be compensated for this time if it occurs outside of their contract hours?

# data[].attributes.body
Will my impact evaluation be in-person or virtual?

# data[].attributes.body
If a student is quarantining, and cannot attend school, will they lose their IPL seat?

# data[].attributes.body
How long is the actual school day?

# data[].attributes.body
How does quarantine work if a student in an A or B cohort tests positive? For example, if I teach Cohort A on Tuesday and Cohort B on Thursday, and a student in Cohort A tests positive, does Cohort B also quarantine?

# data[].attributes.body
What does the reopening plan at Ballou look like for Related Service Providers? Everything has been covered regarding teachers however RSPs (Social Workers, Psychologists, SPL) have not been provided no clear guidance. Their work requires them to be close with students, closed spaces, and HIPPA compliant. Why would in person be chosen over virtual (specifically for Work productivity)?

# data[].attributes.headline
Classrooms Use                    For teachers who are NOT returning to In Person but whose classrooms may be used; do we need to clean out our closets/cabinets of personal belongings to avoid potential theft of personal items?
