The guidance includes general guidelines and ways to implement safety protocols, a detailed symptom assessment schools can use when deciding who should stay home, an action plan if a person tests positive for COVID-19, communication guidance, a water systems safety plan, classroom occupancy guidance and more.
The department also addressed food service safety, as all districts will offer food services to students.
“In addition to addressing social distancing issues, food security also plays an important role as plans and decisions are being developed,” stated the release. “The logistical challenges of successfully feeding all students and school staff will likely vary between each school.”
A “Sampe COVID-19 Letter” was also provided in the guidance.
