[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't be hybrid for the Whitman cluster - because Pyle is at double its capacity.

Also the bus situation. Those buses transport ES / MS and HS kids each day. Sometimes they are overcrowded - that completely defeats the purpose of hybrid school.

Also cleaning between bus routes will take too much time.

Its a no brainer. It will be DL til January - and that will be confirmed once vaccines are rolled out.

Everything else is just noise.[/quote]

Bussing

Encourage alternative modes of transportation for students who have other options.
    Ideally, for students riding the bus, symptom screening would be performed prior to being dropped off at the bus. Having bus drivers or monitors perform these screenings is problematic, as they may face a situation in which a student screens positive yet the parent has left, and the driver would be faced with leaving the student alone or allowing the student on the bus.
    Assigned seating; if possible, assign seats by cohort (same students sit together each day).
    Tape marks showing students where to sit.
    When a 6-foot distance cannot be maintained between students, face coverings should be worn.
    Drivers should be a minimum of 6 feet from students; driver must wear face covering; consider physical barrier for driver (eg, plexiglass).
    Minimize number of people on the bus at one time within reason.
    Adults who do not need to be on the bus should not be on the bus.
    Have windows open if weather allows.[/i]

Now please explain how you know when the vaccines will be "rolled out."[/quote]
