■ Follow recommended health screening prior to leaving home ■ Temperature checks before boarding bus, before entering school campus ■ Students may not enter campus until temperature is checked ■ Multiple staff assigned to temp checks in the morning ■ Highly structured drop off/pickup ■ Only staff allowed on campus except by appointment
4
Physical Distancing
As of July 14, 2020
■ All schools:
adult-to-child disease transmission
within classrooms are minimized and easily identifiable ■ Elementary schools: Ensure students and staff remain in stable classroom cohorts by keeping the same students and teacher or staff together for the entire school day ■ Middle school and high schools: Reduce disease transmission risk by maximizing the space between student desks
5
Physical Distancing
As of July 14, 2020
■ Stagger use of restrooms to reduce contact ■ Minimize congestion in hallways and public spaces (library, cafeteria) ■ Restrict access to Locker Rooms at secondary level ■ Organize recess to reduce cohort mixing to the extent possible
6
Physical Distancing
As of July 14, 2020
(Tentative plan subject to change)
■ Staff will wear face coverings at all times (except eating/drinking). ■ For TK-12 students: Face coverings at all times (except eating/drinking, during physical activity, or in designated outdoor areas where social distancing will be enforced)
7
Hygiene Measures
As of July 14, 2020
■ Teach and reinforce proper handwashing technique, avoiding contact with one’s eyes, nose, and mouth, and covering coughs and sneezes ■ Post signage in high visibility areas to remind students and staff of proper techniques for handwashing and covering of coughs and sneezes and other prevention measures
8
Hygiene Measures
As of July 14, 2020
■ At least daily, and more frequently if feasible, clean and disinfect frequently touched hard surfaces (e.g., tables, desks, chairs, door handles, light switches, phones, copy/fax machines, bathroom surfaces (toilets, countertops, faucets), drinking fountains, and playground equipment) and shared objects will be limited (toys, games, art supplies, books) pursuant to CDC guidance ■ Provide employees training on manufacturer’s directions, on Cal/OSHA requirements for safe use and as required by the Healthy Schools Act, as applicable ■ Ensure proper ventilation during cleaning and disinfecting. Introduce fresh outdoor air as much as possible, for example, by opening windows where practicable. When cleaning, air out the space before students arrive; plan to do thorough cleaning when students are not present
9
Cleaning & Maintenance
As of July 14, 2020
■ Follow all requirements issued by County to prevent Covid-19 in food facilities ■ Serve meals in classrooms or outdoors instead of in cafeterias or group dining rooms where practicable. Serve individually plated or bagged meals. Avoid sharing of foods and utensils and buffet or family-style meals
10
Food Services
As of July 14, 2020
Suspected or Confirmed Cases and Close Contacts
■ Work with school administrators, nurses, and other healthcare providers to identify an isolation room or area to separate anyone who exhibits COVID-19 symptoms ■ Any students or staff exhibiting symptoms should immediately be required to wait in an isolation area until they can be transported home or to a healthcare facility, as soon as practicable. For serious illness, call 9-1-1 without delay
12
Monitoring & Response
As of July 14, 2020
■ For all settings: Provide information regarding close contacts to the County of Monterey Public Health Department ■ For elementary schools and other settings in which stable classroom cohorts have been maintained: All students and staff should be instructed to get COVID-19 testing and remain quarantined at home for 14 days ■ For middle school and high schools, and any settings in which stable classroom cohorts have NOT been maintained: Utilize class seating rosters and consultation with teachers/staff to identify close contacts to the confirmed COVID-19 case in all classrooms and on-campus activities. A close contact is someone who has been within six feet of the case for a prolonged period of time (at least 10-15 minutes) regardless of face covering use. Close contacts should be instructed to get COVID-19 testing and should remain quarantined at home for 14 days 13
