Thursday meet with Return to School committee.  

As of right now, plan on starting on 19th

Amy - if not 6 feet apart, then probably need masks or plexiglass.  She feels outside, probably okay.  What doing for lunch, 

all face forward, teacher in front, plexiglass on front and one side, if following guidelines, kids shouldn;t really walk down hall when other kids are, 
CDC gives recommendations, local control then makes decisions, Amy - biggest risk of spread is lunchroom, maybe bring lunch to room, 

How do bussing?  

Kay read surveys that were sent to staff and to parents.

Use Schoolreach to alert parents that the survey is available on the school website or is available for pickup at the school office?

Matt - on 4-H council and then went to fair board meeting - He said it was 50/50 on have fair vs can't believe that you are holding it, 

Taking Temps - Take right at the door.  Possibly take temp before they get on bus.  Staff do temps.  

Amy - If someone is in class and comes back positive, if six feet apart and pexiglass, then probably wouldn't have to quarantine whole class for 14 days. 

What about games at night.  Do fans have to wear them at games at night?  

 

Discussion:  None at this time.
