Good planning depends on good information about the Virus among our population. I hope that the option for distance learning is given both to teachers and students, who don't feel it is safe to be in school.  Regardless, one way to lessen the crowding in schools is to have a choice of modalities for students and teachers.

It is time for our district to implement a one-to-one internet device for our students, whether, in-class or Distance Learning. Students should not share their devices. Chrome OS tablets or touchscreen chrome books will allow students to do hand- written work.

How will the district make accommodations for those staff who are immunocompromised?

If we contracted covid-19 at work, will the district deem this as their responsibility and possibly extending our sick leave?

Does district has plan/guidelines for high risk staff? Also for SPED, how to assure staff and students safety due to the nature of the job (close contact/poor hygiene...)

How much consideration/preparation is being given to our Physical Education Department and the multiple facilities that are used to engage student learning i.e. locker rooms, mat rooms, gym, etc?

The main concern is how we can bring 2000 people, including students, staff, and occasional parents, back to campus and feel safe. What if the student refuses to wear mask or not to come close? How can we keep distance inside the classroom?

Will there be any safety precautions when we enroll and schedule new students from other schools, countries, etc? If yes, how do we ensure that these practices will be implemented when it’s the student’s first day?

As much as I would like schools to open. There is no way to do it safely with our current testing and overall situation. We must utilize distance learning for the sake of the students, staff and the families they go home to. NO MORE TEMPERATURE CHECKS since it means nothing. We cannot enforce students to distance or wear masks properly.

Will the district relax restrictions on staff bringing their children to work if feeder districts plan on distance learning and/or do not offer after-school child care? Can those staff members instead choose to work remotely if their position would allow?

Will we still have parent/ teacher conferences where there is a large crowd at school? If we do proceed with this, will there also be safety practices?

# data[].attributes.body
Will the district provide signage for directing students to provide adequate space while cueing in common spaces (cafeteria, student center, library)?

I'm concern about the social distancing that people are not caring to keep around others

We need to ask teachers how comfortable they are teaching online and give teachers training and technical support for teaching online.  Many colleges will tech online with some classes taught in person, we can do the same in school. If we have most classes taught online, the number of students on campus can be manageable.
To limit swapping students between classes and teachers, we can have the long (whole day class) once a week. Also making class smaller makes keeping distance easier.

The East Side of San Jose is very much like New York City.
Our school and Population is in the Hot Zone. Our families have and will suffer some more.

What are the district's plans for classes that share common supplies and materials (PE, art, band, choir, science, etc)?

How is the district planning to limit exposure for teachers who work multiple sites?

Some of us reside outside of Santa Clara County, and our county’s restrictions for this pandemic differ from San Jose’s. Should we follow the guidelines of Santa Clara County’s or where we currently live?

We need to continue virtual learning if we can't return safely to the classroom. If we return to the classroom, there needs to be a system in place where all students and staff are tested, at least, weekly or bi-weekly for COVID-19. Even if you take temperatures prior to students and staff entering buildings, there is still no way of detecting COVID-19 positive individuals who are ASYMPTOMATIC!
We need to think about students and staff who are at high-risk and students and staff with disabilities who can't wear face coverings. The myth that children and teenagers are less likely to exhibit COVID-19 symptoms is completely false. Children and teenagers can suffer mulisystem inflammatory syndrome which is an immune response to fighting the COVID-19 virus.
There needs to be a robust testing system in place for all students and staff! The last thing I want is to take COVID-19 home to my family and get them sick! If there is no periodic and timely testing, I don't feel safe going back into the classroom and therefore should continue virtual learning.

How and when will we use Substitute teachers to cover for full-time teachers? Will they be able/be allowed to teach for us on "Remote Online Learning Days"?
