• Stakeholders want a "return to normal":
• Students and their parents want in-person

instruction, even at 6 ft social distancing;

• Faculty and staff miss in-person

instruction, but have concerns about safety

• Mental health and social-emotional

wellbeing are being impacted by the stress of COVID.

• The learning gap has widened during

CONS NSIDERATIONS NS What is the likelihood of infection?

From the New York Times:

• https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/31/us/coronavirus-

school-reopening-risk.html

• As schools grapple with how to reopen, new

estimates show that large parts of the country would likely see infected students if classrooms

Administrative Recommendations

• Virtual K-12 opening

for the first marking period (October 31st)

• Start the re-evaluation

process on October 1st to make a final decision for marking period 2 by October 9th

• Provide in-person

instruction for individuals or small groups of students, based on student need
