• 98% of funding at 100th day SY2020 or current
• 180 days of instruction - no flexibility
• Enrollment Stability Grant Requirements
• Distance or Online counts as attending

2 Distance Learning

at Community School

❏ Assigned dedicated community school teachers (6-8 content areas or special areas

may be supplemented with distance learning teacher from another school).

❏ Flexibility to shift to in-person teacher at the same school ❏ Access to school community virtual clubs, school activities, and events ❏ Utilize Google Classroom learning platform with daily, scheduled Google Meets with class, small groups, or individual sessions ❏ Utilize District curriculum and pacing similar to in-person learning

Distance Learning

Pros

• Curriculum and pacing matched to in-person learning
• Exposure to COVID rate at school for students 0%
• Teachers are solely focused on optimizing the distance student learning

experience

• Connected to school community
• Flexibility to shift to in-person learning when conditions improve
• Provides alternative for high risk staff

Cons

• More rigid schedule for synchronous Google Meets for instruction from teacher
• Child care for parents
• Students will still need adult support, especially K-3
• Students miss out on social interaction

3 Liberty Online School

❏ Students withdraw from community school and enroll for entire year in Liberty Online School ❏ Self-paced direct instruction, practice, and assessment using Edgenuity, a commercial

• nline learning platform

❏ Mostly asynchronous, allowing students flexibility in schedules ❏ Requires learning coaches (adults to support students) ❏ Assigned a Liberty Online School teacher to monitor student success, intervene with a mini lesson, and communicate with parents

Liberty Online School

Pros

• Self-paced, students can accelerate to meet their potential

Cons

• Not connected to community school
• Child care for parents
• Students will still need adult support, especially K-3
• Less social interaction with teacher and peers than Distance Learning
• Very limited flexibility to shift to in-person

4 Hybrid

❏ Use either Option 1 or Option 4 for In-Person choice for parents ❏ Reduces population on campus to approximately 50% ❏ Students attend in-person two days a week and three days a week distance. ❏ Or, some students could attend half days in cohorts (transportation is an issue) ❏ Executive Order requires that parents who need a place for their children to go must be provided free learning on the three “distance” days if requested
