Keep PBCSD Students and Teachers Safe

Is this 6 feet? Is this 3 feet? Will you be logging this for contact tracing? @pbcsd @561Sdpbc #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

Why aren’t temperatures being taken, especially when schools are not implementing basic CDC guidelines? It is the standard for all places with crowds. @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How can teachers sanitize all desks/doorknobs, wash hands, regulate student distancing/classroom management, and use the restroom (when they are often single person and/or broken) in the few minutes in between classes? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

If a staff member needs to quarantine, will they have to use their own sick leave? If they are out of leave, will it be unpaid? If this is the case, what motivation will people have for self-reporting? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How can staff provide physical assistance for ESE students as per their legally binding IEP while socially distancing? How can a teacher effectively conduct small group instruction for Speech/ESE/ELL students? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

What happens when a student, teacher, or staff member dies? Will therapy be provided for those who knew them? Will bereavement time for grieving colleagues be available? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How and within what time frame will parents/guardians/staff be notified of a case? Will it just be for a case within a given class, or for any one in the school? How can you effectively implement contact tracing in a secondary school? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

Why is @pbcsd devaluing the lives of those trying to protect themselves, their families, or the spread of COVID? ALL staff needs to be given a choice. #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

If a K-5 student presents symptoms during class, who will escort the student to the clinic with an already overworked Admin staff? If no one is available, how can the rest of the class be protected? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How will secondary students transition to classes? How can any distance be maintained in hallways? Who will monitor distancing in bathrooms or locker rooms? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

If a student bumps their head or has a bloody nose, do they get treated in the same clinic as students/staff with COVID symptoms, putting healthy students at risk? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

Will drills (Code Red, Tornado, Fire) be conducted? If so, how can they be done per CDC guidelines? If not, why are they no longer important? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

What is the protocol for use of P.C.M. or V.I.T.A.L. in a school? If these procedures take place in a hybrid class, will they be streamed and recorded? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How are we expected to provide equitable education to students online and in-person at the same time? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

What are the metrics for class quarantines and school closures? Who makes the decision? Can we get actual guidelines of what to expect? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

What happens when students refuse to wear a mask? Will staff be reprimanded for protecting themselves before managing classroom behavior and engagement? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

Per the CDC’s website, “COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact (within about 6 feet).” Why is 3 feet suddenly permissible? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How do you plan to handle the vacancies of the hundreds (thousands?) of Highly Qualified teachers who want to teach but will be leaving/resigning because they don't feel safe (and don't necessarily have a pre-existing condition)? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

How are we to handle students or staff who display symptoms but are not self-reporting? What is the expected response time once Admin is alerted, and what is the expected response? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD

Is @SuptFennoy choice to not send his own child back to brick and mortar due to lack of confidence in the safety precautions in the schools, quality of hybrid teaching, or both? @pbcsd #GoingTheDistancePBCSD #ProtectPBCSD
