E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Discussion) Return to In-Person School UpdateSummary
  • Secondary Staff will be in training on April 22-23 including a review of the health and safety protocols, reconnection and touring the school site
  • SRCS expects to receive $4,945,772 from Safe Schools for All Plan Grant. The board shall adopt a plan describing how the funds will be used 
  • SRCS is expected to receive $10,575,977 from Expanded Learning Grant for English learners, foster youth, homeless students, special needs students, and students at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, disengaged students, and students who are below grade level and/or at risk of not graduating are the priority for expanded learning.
  • Summer School will be in-person except for those programs that have been traditionally online. A future board meeting will enumerate summer plans. A tentative agreement has been reached with SRTA.
  • 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. 

E.2. (Action) Resolution Recognizing April 2021 as National Library Month
