We can’t have overcrowded buses like we do. We need to reduce the amount of kids on buses. Our buses also need to be cleaned more often and with harsher cleaners.

We need to give families the option to continue remote learning OR to return to school with modified days of instruction.  If some parents choose remote learning, it would decrease the numbers at school.  Staff should also receive the same option.  Depending on the number of students returning to school, we need to consider scheduling students to day(s) of the week for direct instruction and then remote learning on the other days.

We need to have a plan for deep cleaning schools every day and throughout the day.

We need to limit interactions between various adults and students. One adult / # of students, in case there is a positive case within the group it stays contained in that group.

Children getting on buses will need to be determined healthy- screened in some way, and bus drivers provided PPE. (for themselves and the riders.)

Schools that face the most adversity need more health and learning resources in their community so that equity issues aren't further exacerbated. Focus on priorities and not branding. For instance, the zip code surrounding my school has a higher rate of COVID and less resources to deal and they bring that to the school.

Plenty of staff to monitor and carry out requirements to create a safe environment: PPE equipment, cleaning, monitoring, ways to communicate issues and have those issues solved in a timely manner.   More staff per student with the proper gear and clearly communicated, realistic procedures.  Better pay.  This goes for all staff including bus drivers.

# data[].attributes.body
Realistic expectations. Staff cannot stay organized and make fast adaptations if they were already overwhelmed to begin with.  They must be able to focus on teaching without worrying about also functioning as health care workers and inspectors.  Clearly communicated policy in advance placing education before politics.

# data[].attributes.body
They need clearly communicated policy and a sense of what is their responsibility in a quickly altering educational environment. This also is a teacher need.  They need this well in advance with maximum effort at reaching parents and the communities. Communities that feed schools now need to have equity issues addressed so that the students of already struggling school environments are not further lost.  Equity will be more important or students with resources will not experience the reality of what students with less resources go through and those students will be lost and not considered in future policy-making.

We really need to think holistically and this needs to include emotional support for our students. This is beyond what our counselors or a pre-packaged SEL program will be capable of providing, especially with conditions such as social distancing that promote isolation. From the top down, our children and not their test scores need to be prioritized.

Traffic flow within the building needs to be well-thought.

Scheduling does not need to be tight where hallways/stairwells become congested.

It is important that students be able to get up and move freely. PE and recess are necessities. If they have to stay in their desks all day with no options for movement we are asking for trouble.

We are not drones. We need to have our time respected. We need to stand firm with contractual time and not allow for "I need this before tomorrow" when it is already 4:30. There are times of the day that we need to be "unreachable"..

Buildings and transportation must have strict and mandated guidelines with cleaning to ensure that students are safe. Strict spacing guidelines must be in place and followed.

I don't know that buses are even acceptable until a vaccine is administered. Parents send children to school sick all the time. At a minimum students need their temperatures checked before getting on a bus.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools are a microcosm of society. We can't ask schools to open until everything else is safe to be opened too. School is not a babysitter and we have to stop being treated as such.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to be realistic about the communities that are largely affected by this and discuss real solutions. The district is zoned off with unequal areas and some zip codes are suffering more than others. The district needs to take a deeper look and develop a plan for better access to technology, healthcare resources, grading, etc.

We need desks in classrooms to help with social distancing. Tables will not be efficient enough to help with this. We also need mental health to help students cope with our new norm. Students should come in on different days, for instance having an A /B day or 1/2 days.

We need resources to be able to teach from home. (maybe a document camera to help with lessons). I personally think children are going to need text books. Text books will help drive instruction and be a great resource for students. I know when we were all in school we had them and schools have gotten away from them. But during this time, wouldn’t they be helpful?

We also need a direct plan on what remote learning needs to look like, maybe have examples for different grade  levels. We need a guideline for taking grades and what is actually expected from students. We’ve had too many students submitting incomplete work or just unacceptable work.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to limit interactions with adults and students. Over crowding of buses cannot happen. If we are practicing social distancing maybe 1 to a seat or 1 to every other seat (and I have no idea how we can do this! We have A LOT of students). Maybe students need to wear masks on the bus but they have to wear them correctly. If a child is sick, they should NOT be allowed to get on the bus at all. We need to do some sort of screening at bus stops.

If students are screened before entering the bus, an additional adult needs to do that.  We cannot expect bus drivers to safely get students to school and be healthcare workers as well.
Parents need to be held accountable for sending a child to school if they are sick.
