It included their current plan for dealing with COVID. Temperature checks twice daily. No attendance if a child has so much as a sniffle. No social distancing, i.e. a reduction in class size, is expected, but group interaction, e.g. multi-person projects, will be limited. Lunch will be in classrooms rather than the cafeteria. Outdoor time will be done by classroom rather than by grade or larger group.

The school calendar has four days of at school class time and one day of online class time each week. This is to allow one day of deep cleaning (in addition to new daily cleaning protocols) and to keep students and teachers comfortable with online classes in the event they have to further restrict at school learning. No after school programs. No mention of sports and extracurricular activities, I assume because these were kindergarten and second grade info-paks. No change to school transportation, although the school district highly encourages parents to drive their kids to school.

Each school’s online school day is the same across all grades. While creating different days for each grade’s online school day would create a better social distancing environment, knowing the one day when all your kids will be schooling from home makes things easier on working parents. I think this is a reasonable and thoughtful plan, and hope it can remain implemented for the entire school year.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to share it with an administrator at my teen's high school along with seacoaster's response that NH is considering similar. Here in NY I'm expecting this may be deemed, too permissive

One of the problems will be the one size fits all. My guess is that schools in tech's area face different issues than NYC schools. How flexible are the states going to be within the state itself?

Here is the NH Task Force page; the surveys of the constituencies within the school issues (staff, parents, admin, etc) are kind of interesting.

Quick! Run! hide!

With a US population of 330 million, with 70% infected needed for herd immunity (another estimate), and a 0.26% fatality rate, that's 600,000 dead.

And the death rate will be MUCH HIGHER if the curve is not flat enough to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

And many survivors have ongoing health issues, potentially very serious ones.

So, yes, I am absolutely running and hiding.

CORONAVIRUS IN TEXAS
An increase in people dying at home suggests coronavirus deaths in Houston may be higher than reported
In Houston, one of the nation's fastest-growing coronavirus hot spots, more residents are dying before they can make it to a hospital. Medical examiner data shows that an increasing number of these deaths are the result of COVID-19.

And this is verified by looking at before and after chest xrays of pre and post CV-19? And by post CV-19, a year later to see if there is indeed irreparable damage. Please share source.

The coronavirus is leaving some people with permanent lung damage
