HOW THE SEPARATE PLANS LOOK

	A	B	C	D
1	TOPIC	PLAN A	PLAN B	PLAN C
2
3		Least restrictive plan with social distancing required only where individuals may congregate, such as hallways, reception areas, cafeteria, restrooms, and locker rooms	More restrictive plan	School facilities are closed for students; only teachers and staff will be allowed in school buildings
4		School facilities are open; all students may be in school at the same time	School facilities are open but social distancing is required	Remote learning for all students, based on Remote Instruction Plans (SPLN-006) submitted on July 20, 2020, to NCDPI as a framework for quality remote learning
5		Traditional instruction with preparation for Blended Learning	Limit density of people in school facilities to no more than 50% maximum occupancy
6			**Enhanced health protocols - including temperature checks and symptom screenings; added sanitation measures
7
8			Schools will operate on A-Week and B-Week scheduling. Grades 6-10 will be in clusters (using transportation zoning); juniors and seniors will do all assignments/activities remotely and will not be in the buildings. Elementary schools, including Pre-K, will split classrooms into cohorts so that one half of a grade attenda on A-Week, and works on assigments at home on B-Week, and vice versa.
9			Blended Learning for all
10			Instruction will occur Monday through Thursday; Fridays are for deep cleaning of facilities
11
12
13		Per the Governor, under EACH PLAN, remote options will be provided for parents who choose NOT to send their child(ren) to school. **For middle and high school students who opt out of face-to-face instruction, they will utilize APEX for online learning, with some degree of supervision by a remote learning teacher.

15	FACILITIES	NC DHHS Requirements for all plans - Cleaning and Disinfecting - Need proper schedules on paper?? (Maintenance/Custodians) NCDHHS Requirement: ● Teach and reinforce handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and/or the safe use of hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol by staff and older children. ● Allow time between classroom activities for proper cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces Limit sharing of personal items and supplies in the classroom such as writing utensils. ● Keep students' personal items separate and in individually labeled cubbies, containers, or lockers. ● Limit use of classroom material to small groups and disinfect between uses or provide adequate supplies to assign for individual student use. NCDHHS Recommendations: ● Arrange seating/desks to allow for physical distancing. NCDHHS recommends at least 6 feet apart when feasible. ● Assign seating to help track virus spread if a student/staff tests positive for COVID-19. ● Turn desks to face the same direction (rather than facing each other), or have students sit on only one side of tables, spaced apart. ● ***Install physical barriers, such as sneeze guards and partitions, particularly in areas where it is difficult for individuals to remain at least six feet apart (i.e., reception desks). (Desk shields will also be ordered.) ● Provide physical guides, such as tape on floors or sidewalks and signs on walls, to ensure that staff and children remain at least 6 feet apart in lines and at other times (i.e., guides for creating “one way routes” in hallways).

20	SIGNAGE	• Post signage at the main entrance requesting that people who have been symptomatic with fever and/or cough not enter. Examples of signage such as Know Your Ws/Stop if You Have Symptoms flyers (English - Color, Black & White; Spanish - Color, Black & White). ● Put up signs, posters and flyers at the main entrances and in key areas throughout school buildings and facilities such as those found on the Social Media Toolkit for COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/communication/social-media-toolkit.html ) to remind students and staff to wear face coverings, wash hands and stay 6 feet apart whenever possible (Wear, Wait, Wash). **CENTRAL OFFICE to take the lead in installation and determining funding sources. (ALL SIGNAGE HAS BEEN ORDERED.)
21
22	INSTRUCTION	Survey families to identify and determine the number of families NOT planning for their child to participate in person instruction. (UNDERWAY NOW)
23		In-Person instruction for all; with ability to move into a more stringent plan, should the need arise (i.e., Plan B or Plan C). Remote instruction will be available for parents who choose NOT to send their child(ren) back to school; also in the event of another closure/shutdown, and/or in the event a student becomes ill.	Blended Learning; with a combination of in-person and remote learning, made available on a week-to-week basis (A Week - B Week). Example: One week is in person; the following week is remote learning; instruction would alternate by week. Split all students into two cohorts which alternate participation in face to face learning and remote instruction a week at a time--all this in keeping buildings at 50% occupancy at all times. Determine number of additional teachers needed to staff K-12 schools and identify how these teachers would be acquired. Determine if any building or furniture modifications will need to be made to accommodate 50% capacity of students/staff in buildings. *Special consideration for Bertie High School, which provides tables rather than separate desks for students. Provide training to all teachers on enhancements to remote learning to improve the educational experience for students.	All remote learning - all of the time.
24		Provide training to all teachers on enhancements to remote learning to improve the educational experience for students, in the event a student is sent home due to illness, OR in the event of another closure / shutdown.
25		Communicate remote learning expectations for students and families.
26
27	SCHOOL NUTRITION	For all three plans: - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yYFjgW44coTk30URe7ElNmL4EINT4v-m/view School Nutrition Staff and food vendors have their own point of entry and will follow appropriate screening procedures at these locations. School Nutrition Staff have their own screening equipment and log. ***Awaiting decision from USDA regarding meals for parents who opt to keep their children home under either Plan A or B. (Will they receive meals??)
28		Students will eat breakfast and lunch at each school (based upon structure and population), while maintaining social distancing: ● In the cafeteria (provide directional signage and plexiglass for cafeteria staff). ● In the classroom: student pick up or meals delivered (provide bags/cans each day for trash and schedule time for trash pickup; purchase takeout containers, and rolling carts). ● Combination of service in the cafeteria and in the classroom; ● Implement a system of meal counting and claiming that is consistent with federal regulations at the Point of Service. ● Provide time for handwashing before and after lunch.	Cafeterias will not be used for serving meals; rather for meal preparation only. Meals will be served to students by School Nutrition Staff in the classrooms. Snacks and water services will be provided; school staff will handle water from water stations. Water fountains will not be in use.	Procedures for meal delivery for remote learning days *GOES HERE https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yYFjgW44coTk30URe7ElNmL4EINT4v-m/view
29		Plan multiple menus to accommodate meals in the classroom, meals served in hallways, meals-to-go as determined by the BCS School Nutrition Director. Place food and supply orders as quickly as possible to ensure an adequate supply of products that meet the district’s/school’s meal service options, including students with allergies and special dietary needs.
30		Comply with NCDHHS requirements for: ● Social distancing and minimizing exposure. ● Continuously monitoring staff safety and well-being. ● Handling suspected, presumptive or confirmed positive cases of COVID 19. Provide continuous training for staff in social distancing, proper hygiene, proper use of PPE and other practices to protect students, staff and others.

33	TRANPORTATION	Survey parents to project transportation needs - Underway! · Develop plans/routes/seating charts for each bus Limit transportation flexibility at the school level (e.g., students will only be assigned to one bus for both the morning and afternoon). ***If a child is a car rider in the morning but needs to ride the bus in the afternoon, a place must be reserved for that child in the morning as well, so as to ensure that he/she will be accommodated that afternoon.		Drivers transporting meals will adhere to NC DHHS Requirements, and meal delivery will look like that which occurred from March to June.
34		Encourage carpooling when possible, in back to school information/communication. Review and revise each school’s traffic patterns for arrival and dismissal to accommodate increased traffic.Identify drivers, attendants, and substitute drivers who are considered high risk for severe illness and develop a plan to address reasonable requests for alternate work assignments. Identify staff that can be deployed to drive buses in the event of a large number of unavailable drivers. Local recommendation: If you hold a CDL, you may be called upon to drive a school bus. Provide training on new practices and policies related to health, safety, and leave for all drivers and all substitute bus drivers. *Need ATTESTATION PLAN
35		SPECIFICS: Social distancing is NOT required on school buses under Plan A, but is recommended at bus stops. Face covering are required by all students and staff. However, in cases where face coverings cannot be worn due to medical conditions, normal social distancing measures (at least 6 feet of space between people at all times) should apply. School must provide instructions to students and families on these required safety measures to ensure compliance. Screening at Bus Stops: Parents should complete and submit an attestation for every two weeks** for their child to ride the school bus. All persons entering a school facility will be screened further, daily, (i.e., temperature check and questionnaire) regardles of the attestation to ride public school transportation. Forms should be collected by bus drivers and given to school social workers for school records.	SPECIFICS: No more than one passenger per school bus seat (considerations for family members to share one seat). No more than 2 passengers in a contracted vehicle. In order to exercise the above revisions as of June 23, face coverings WOULD be REQUIRED for all students and staff. However, in cases where face coverings cannot be worn due to medical conditions, normal social distancing measures (at least 6 feet of space between people at all times) will apply. Schools must provide instructions to students and families on these required safety measures to ensure compliance.
36		Post appropriate signage from the CDC Resources.
37		Purchase and distribute personal quantities of hand sanitizer to bus drivers for staff and student use and communicate expectations for usage and storage. Provide training and written instructions on cleaning and disinfecting the bus and proper use and storage. Chemicals and/or all disinfectants cannot be stored on a bus.
38		Determine if face masks, face shields, and/or gloves will be provided by the district and required for drivers. Train staff on proper use, removal, and hygiene for PPE.
39		Consult with the EC Department to determine special accommodations related to COVID-19 that will need to be made for individual students with special needs. Review and revise rules for private contractors.
40		Create a document to inform parents of new policies regarding student transportation to accommodate social distancing (multiple runs, wider arrival and departure times, assigned seating, etc.). Provide school bus and bus stop social distancing training to students.
