[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This document was sent out today, with a form to share your intent by July 10. WTU quickly followed with an email to not submit yet. I have no idea what to do as I really want to be in person, but don’t trust any promises of PPE/supplies or enhanced cleaning. It’s not like once I show up and any of that isn’t happening I can just back out, I’ll have to use my own leave.

It’s a 4 1/2 page document so I’ll paste highlights:

DCPS will implement a hybrid learning model for the 2020-21 School Year (SY) that will include continued virtual instruction and in-person instruction for a portion of our students. DCPS will continue to ensurethe safety of school-based employees who report to work in-person.

All employees who report to work in-person will be provided with a daily supply of disposable face masksat no cost to the employee. Additionally, staff will be provided with a full supply of hand sanitizers and cleaning supplies to maintain their workspaces

Daily Health Screening
DCPS will implement a daily health screen for all students and staff entering DCPS buildings. Employees will complete this screening through a self-assessment that needs to occur before arrival daily. A team of screening facilitators will monitor screening results to ensure appropriate follow up occurs.
An individual with any of the following symptoms will be instructed to not enter DCPS buildings, to isolate immediately, and call their healthcare provider:
• Fever (defined as 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit);
• Chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing;
• Fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache; or
New loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea, or otherwise feeling unwell.
If a student or staff member develops any of the symptoms above during the course of the school day, DCPS will have a designated physical location and a process in place that allows the individual to isolate until it is safe to go home and seek healthcare provider guidance.

Enhanced Cleaning Routines
Schools will undergo daily cleaning at the end of each day and deep cleaning based on a prescribed schedule.

This shouldn't be a surprise to you as a teacher . It is literally cut and paste from the DC Task force public plan released  6 WEEKS AGO

So what is your plan forward then ? There is no vaccine and children need to be educated.

If you are 65 or older,have a medical condition placing you in high risk or if you suffer from OCD , you get paid leave. Its the law

If you are just a whiner, maybe consider another profession [/quote]

Yeah, I have to agree. I was ready to be outraged until I read the documents. Anyone 65+, with a condition, caring for someone with a condition or sick them selves gets paid leave. Healthy, young teachers without sick dependents need to go to work. This does NOT seem unreasonable to me in any way.[/quote]
