Enclosure
File Attachment:
Background and Summary: Dr. Rosa Atkins, Division Superintendent, will recommend that the Board affirm their vote last month to open on March 8 following Option A, which provides in-person instruction to students in PreK-grade 2 (if their families selected it). In addition, Option A also brings back students in grades 3-12 so that we can provide the face-to-face supports that they need.

Earlier this year, Dr. Atkins brought together a COVID-19 Advisory Committee of teachers, staff, parents, community members, medical professionals, and more. The committee made an initial proposal, and at the December 17 School Board meeting, the committee and Dr. Atkins presented revised models for the Board’s consideration. At their January 7 meeting, the Board postponed implementation until March 8, pending a review of data in February.
