[CASL-L] opening HS libraries

[Willetta Payton]

Lori,
Norwalk High School was quite the opposite. The library is not opened to
study hall students or to classes. My principal wanted to limit movement
and gathering of students which would impact “effective” contact tracing.
The library space is being used as a classroom in tbe upper library as we
made every effort to space students/classes  out according to the
guidelines. The lower library is used for students who might have come to
school on the wrong day and lunchtime during inclement weather. A member of
our maintenance staff is present and sits through all three lunch waves to
clean. Students can individually come to the library to check out books. We
have been like this since the start of school. About half of our students
returned to school at the start of the year but progressively went remote.
We may get 250 kids out of about 1600 a day. We are trying to entice
students to return to school but I do not think it will happen until it is
mandated.
I hope this helps.
