I just had a Zoom meeting this morning and as expected this was brought up.
A lot has to do with the age of the schools and how crowded they would be even with split sessions.
Speaking of which, how would that affect teacher's (and everyone else's) contracts?
How many hours would everyone be expected to put in?
Then there is the issue of bussing, which raises a whole other issue.
Here are a couple of other articles on the topic:

Good Morning,

As we all continue to work to support our schools, a concern of mine is planning for re-opening.  I've been reading about recommendations for "disinfecting returned books/materials".   This alone will be a big change in my day-to-day with books and Chromebooks circulating.  Then I begin to think about the Media Center being a community space for all students and staff and I become somewhat overwhelmed with what new procedures might be put into place. 

I was wondering if anyone has a plan or suggestions? Has administration started this conversation (or have you)? Have you thought about materials or supplies to purchase?  Protocols / procedures to put in place?

I was hoping we could collectively share ideas, suggestions, and resources to work through such changes / challenges. 

Stay well,
Jodie
