Working groups allow districts in the region to maximize resources and expertise and minimize the impact on families who may be comparing how their district is handling the situation in their neighboring districts, Murphy said. Planning efforts by dozens of districts in the regions are being coordinated by the New York State Department of Education and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is beginning to develop a plan for how schools can meet the many challenges of returning to school.
The region's superintendents have expressed interest in getting students and teachers back into classes and reconnecting people, Murphy said. He also said supervisors will follow the state Department of Education's assessment of whether it is safe to reopen schools and what they need to do to keep them safe after they open.
Murphy, meanwhile, said that planning districts want to meet the strictest requirements but don't have to go so far for the better. A number of health agencies, including the state Department of Health and the New York State Department of Health, have said they expect schools to reopen in the fall. Let's be clear: We're taking a very proactive approach to getting schools ready for the fall, "he said.
The road to reopening must be based on the public health framework that guided the intensive social dissociation measures in the spring.
To reopen the school with adequate health and safety protocols, school leaders must face a series of new challenges, including the fact that they closed a school in the midst of one of the worst school shootings in US history. This decision requires a determined Community commitment leading to coherent planning and support for the Community. Parents, teachers and students must be involved throughout the decision-making process, with a focus on safety and well-being, for the benefit of all students and staff, as well as their parents and teachers.
One thing we know for sure: students need tools to support their learning, whether in the classroom or at home. With the challenges that COVID-19 brings, students, parents and teachers must prepare for a unique school year. None of these tasks are easy, but it is worth fighting for and parents work with us.
For so many children, the first day of school is nothing to get upset about, but for hundreds of families, their budgets are stretched to the point where they cannot afford the age - adequate school supplies.
For many families in Arizona, the money simply isn't enough to ensure a good start to the school year. Back to School Clothing Drive prepares children across Arizona for a successful school year by providing them with new uniforms, backpacks and school supplies. With the help of caring volunteers, more than 5,600 children were able to participate in a memorable day of school shopping.
During the week, they received everything they needed for school, including new uniforms, new backpacks with school supplies and personal hygiene items, and a new backpack. At Sequoia Secondary School, we have helped nearly 500 homeless children, most of whom participated in the New Clothes for New Beginnings event at Grand Canyon University in July. Luke Air Force Base is home to more than 750 children who have one or both parents who serve in the U.S. Air Force and are supported by the Office of Children and Family Services of the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Phoenix Police Department.
While US testing capacity has increased in recent weeks, researchers and health officials say there are not yet enough tests in most parts of the country to allow people to return to work safely. While some states have made a big push to hire treaty enforcers, other states are starting to plan for it. Remote learning could even be the new normal this fall, said Dr. Michael D'Agostino, a professor at the University of California, San Diego School of Public Health.
Officials in some metropolitan districts have noted that keeping students apart, running additional bus routes and reducing class sizes could be costly at a time of tight budgets. Teachers' unions have warned that sending teachers to crowded buildings during a major test for coronavirus would pose an unacceptable risk.
