Testing: The Consolidated Schools Guidance does not require testing in the Orange Tier. Voluntary asymptomatic testing for all staff and students can be offered. Athletes will be tested weekly for Indoor Sports. Response testing, typically scheduled 8 days after an exposure, will continue to be offered by the district or in coordination with Public Health.
COVID -19 Cases Since April 1 will be reported at the board meeting.
2021-22 School year plans: Full days, five days a week schedule. Traditional school infrastructure and systems must adapt to our new reality. Social -emotional learning, assessment, and curriculum are embedded throughout the school system. Students already facing barriers pre-pandemic have been impacted more intensely. Resources will be allocated accordingly. Multi Tiered Systems of Support are critical for students in our new reality.

SRTA is concerned about the district’s ability to implement the guidelines SRCS currently has in place. CDC guidelines specifically mention both cleaning and disinfection. Currently, custodians are being told only to use the sanitizing spray and are not cleaning desk tops that children from different Stable Groups share or other high touch surfaces.
