Follow up from April 16 th CBO Call • Q - Once a positive person has been cleared, can that person get the virus again or is that person considered immune? Ex: Nursing home resident or jail inmate. Is it safe to go back to general population? Any special protocol? • It is still not clear if you have long term immunity after you have been infected. Antibody testing should help confirm. • After entering in a congregate setting, such as the jail or nursing homes, screening, if symptomatic, test is conducted, the person then goes to a “warm zone” while waiting for test results. If positive, put into isolation and begin contact tracing. • Q – Is DPH tracking and/or testing in nursing homes? • Skilled nursing facilities (SNF) required to report positive cases to state • Ongoing communication with SNF, assisted living, senior living sites • Looking at conducting surveillance with SNFs • Looking at building capacity for testing with SNFs by connecting them with local Medicare Medical providers who can provide testing

Parents: the Child’s First Teacher Fresno Parent Perspective in the time of COVID Families are navigating the challenge of continuing education in the home; Districts and communities face the challenge of mitigating savage inequities amplified by the pandemic. 18
Community Organizing in the “New Normal” 19
Parent Testimonials The short term and long term consequences of the lack of instruction will prove to disproportionately affect my children given that they belong to already vulnerable groups (low income, minority, English language learner). As a single mother I have to continue to work to meet my children's most basic needs and now the burden of acting as a teacher. -Carmen Zamora 20
Parent Testimonials I have four children that are students of Edison, Fulton and Columbia. I also have a son with special needs. I am aware that my children are not the only ones that are losing crucial instruction but majority of students of Fresno Unified. I ask myself how are the district & teachers going to help our children receive an education from home so that students’ academic level doesn’t decrease? -Dalia Arenas 21
Parent Testimonials I would like to request that teachers have instructional connection with each of their students, either teacher-student/ one-on- one, or in small groups through video conferences, phone calls, texts or email. I also ask that when this instruction is given it is based on the needs of the student and that this is long term instruction. -Juana Iris Meza 22
Parent Testimonials I would like to request to have our students to see their teachers through zoom, email them to check up on their students or work with them in small groups through zoom. The more resources that our children have the more are going to be ready when they go back to school. Hopefully soon our FUSD have their laptops and tablets so we all can be ready to work with our students. -Octaviana Gonzalez 23
