So we have been in constant communication and we have heard this concern of these classes that absolutely cannot be taught virtually but they are very hand on. How can we make the classes safer . Because they cannot be done virtual. That will be part of the guidance. And its such a big piece of the other thing and that the other thing that gets lost in inperson classes is there are classes that will not be taught in the fall semester or potentially the Spring Semester that have a negative impact on Mental Health in San Francisco. A lot of our seniors take classes at City College Even with the unfortunate class cuts in physical education in, for example, pottery and ceramics that you cannot teach online. You cannot take a ceramics class online, but we cannot teach it safely inperson either currently. The work we are doing is critical for us to do this work back in the spring. And hopefully teach the important classes that have a direct Mental Health impact and positive impact on a lot of life long learners in San Francisco. And they are the ones who want to be left out of education right now with community spread. And a lot of the students are in a very Vulnerable Group that cant really go back to class even potentially with some of the safety mechanisms that we will have in place. The next couple of months will be very critical for that group of our students and for our college because i know that the supervisors and Everybody Knows that a lot of our funding comes from enrollment been reduced. People cant take online classes so theyre not going to enroll at city college, right . That has another huge impact on our budget. So thank you so much for all your work. Thank you so much for all the work that you are doing. I am looking forward to the guidance that you are working on. I want to reemphasize what they said earlier that this is a shared experience that in order for us to safely have safer reopenings of schools and institutions of higher learning, we have to reduce community spread. And we all have to play our part in order to make that happen. From there anymore questions or comments for d. P. H. Before we move to sfusd . A quick one. Thank you. I would love for d. P. H. To add to its information around pods. The other forms of child care and socializing that parents may be considering. And i have been specific about nanny shares and outdoor socializing and also share care. Those are three kind of things i hear about. Parent coops. And in the micro school but coop kind of version where parents share it throughout families. Im also requesting that i think this is really Important Information for the community to have, right, and the more that they get, then the more buyin were going to get from folks to participate the information you show with the mask and i have seen Police Officers wearing their mask below their nose. Just basic things. I am wondering if you guys could work with us or the board of supes or another agency to host town halls so that just this General Information about how it spreads, whats safe, why is it inside and not as safe as outside to host you and say basically what they are saying here to more audiences. I think that is just a question if you think that would be helpful. And i wanted if you could clarify, i know you said there were revisions that you made to the guidance around i think it was out of School Time Programs and potentially i know you made changes to the school guidance. I think i noticed changes as far as masking requirements or guidelines as well as social distancing and because there is a lot of miscommunication and also because as we learned more, we have changed recommendations. I think it helps to be really clear about whats changed because i think i remember the very beginning you were saying, dont wear masks because we needed them for health care providers. Now were saying wear them. I want to be really clear with the public if they saw them before, whats different now than what has been revised in any of the documents that youre sharing this past week . If i may go in order of the questions you have just posed, i hear and you brought this up with tomasz as well to add more information to the different type of child care, and i will take that back to the team so we can work on that. I think as much communication as possible to go and move on to your second point, about basic Community Education and we need to definitely get that out there in an effort to reduce community transmission, so i can take that back to the communication people and see what they can coordinate on getting out to town halls and some speaker and better messaging particularly out for certain communities. And then to your third point about what updates to the guidance, so it was specifically to the schools guidance. It was really to bring it in alignment to what the state had published. For example, the point you made about physical distancing now says that everyone, staff and student staff must stay 6 feet and students must stay 6 feet when feasible. The masking requirements are per the state that all students third grade and above member Wearing Masks and grades two and below are strongly encouraged to be Wearing Masks. And those are two of the main examples of what was updated and just so people know, what was it before . How did it change . It got more strict, more lenient, or we took the pieces from the state that are more stricter because in general whatever is stricter is prevails. So that piece about physical distancing is stricter and masking is stricter and language on ventilation from the environMental Health branch to make it much more clear around ventilation and we thought the state wasnt clear on that and we included that. The other pieces are so minor that they its not worth mentioning. I appreciate that because i do think over the summer i have a family tell me that they were concerned about masking. There was suggested masking but not required masking for the summer programs. That is the reason that one parent pulled their child out of the program because they were told they did not require masks. And the parent felt like that wasnt safe. I think that also so it sounds like they are not required up to a certain age, is that correct . In order to participate. Your child is not required to wear a mask. I know there is also language for students with disabilities who may not be able to wear masks. But i think those expectations were clear in the district in term of dress code and i think we should be clear with families on their who want to participate about what they can expect for their child and other peoples children. This is also in alignment with our local face coverings health order, and this spans more than just the school environment, but for children under two, there should absolutely be no face coverings because of risk of suffocation. For ages two to nine, it is strongly recommended that they wear face coverings and it must be with adult supervision. Ages 10 and above must wear face coverings. And that closely aligns with approximately third grade. Thank you. I would like that information to be lifted in the signoff sheet and i read it for the ost program and there is a model and dr. Aragon was referencing that you are taking a risk because any time you go out of the house there is a risk. I think it would be helpful to lift those specific things and even for teachers, would you feel comfortable teaching . For me as a teacher, i would feel comfort fbl i had good ventilation but not feel comfortable if i dont have operable windows. Being specific about what families can expect when they participate. I think that is really helpful information. If i may, all Industry Sectors including all programs that serve youth must complete a health and safety plan and have that publicly available and posted and that includes all of the ideas and all of the recommendations that you just mentioned. It doesnt really necessarily have to be part of the risk acknowledgment form. We can reference that, but that needs to be posted in a publicly visible area that everybody can see and that includes the staff as well as the family. Thank you. Im done, chair haney. Thank you. Thank you. Trustee president williams and then i do want to flag for everyone that we are about two hours in and we have four or five more presentations in. If we want to get to the folks my comments are super brief. I am here as long as we need to be here, but i wanted to make sure that everybody knew that. President william. No worries. I want to align myself with trustee randolphs comments earlier and also add to that i wanted to hear what youre sharing about the opt optimum serve site and the city of city college and would like to hear a little bit about what has been happening there at the optimum serve site. Im sorry. I dont have much information about that site that i can share right now and bring that back to you. I personally dont know. From the department of Public Health who would be the point person to followup with you. I can get that answer back to the committee. Thank you. That was my only question. All right. Last call for d. P. H. Questions. And we appreciate i do have one question. Sorry. D. P. H. , i want to demand d. P. H. I took a test at pier 30 and my husband and i he was coming back from afghanistan and we wanted to test and the process was incredible. It only took 12 hours to get the results. I took the test a month ago and it was something that took 12 days to come back and irrelevant to get the tests and you are doing a great job with some of the city run sites. I also think that the site of city college is doing well and i would love to get more information on that. I think it should be able to have our students get access to that as well. And it takes about a week or two to get an appointment there. And so i think it would be great to get some information on that the next Committee Meeting from whoever is in charge of that site there. But overall, you are doing a really good job. The question i do have quickly before you leave is under state and under the state law and passed and the cities are supposed to start collecting lgbt Background Data or lgbt demographics as part of the testing. I have not seen that happening yet during registration process at any of the city sites. I know l. A. Has started doing that. Do you have a timeline or idea when the city will be starting to test or take lgbt data . I do not have the answer to that. But i can again just like with the optimum, go and get that question and bring that back to the team and get that answer for you. Im sorry. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. All right. Thank you so much for that and again well look forward to hearing from you again in a few weeks and some of the specific guidance around city college. I think that will be really important and a lot of updates in questions and things. So thank you for your work and with that, im going to turn it over to deputy superintendent lee from sfusd. Thank you so much, chair haney. And good morning still for about two more minutes, Committee Members. Appreciate the opportunity to provide another update about the work thats happening in sfusd and also want to thank the partners that are represented in the various presentations today. Were working really closely with many partners in the city and county and cbos and family organizations. And we appreciate all of everyones collective effort. So our update today is going to be focussing mostly most intensely on our Distance Learning plan for the fall as well as our plans for distributing the technology and the nondigital materials that our students and families will need to be engaged in our Distance Learning plan this fall. As everyone knows, we are for the time being for the foreseeable feature in a Remote Learning mode. And we will talk in a moment about what we are planning in the meantime for a hopefully gradual return to inperson learning. Were going to comment on that, but really just to set the stage a bit, we understand and know very well that families, students, parents and guardians are very anxious as supervisor ronen alluded to in her comments at the beginning of the hearing about whats going to happen this fall. And it has been a very tight timeline and hopefully this hearing will provide some really helpful and substantive information about the work that has been happening. We reached a really important milestone last week in reaching an m. O. U. With our labor partners in united Education Partners in San Francisco. We will talk briefly about that, but i hope you will see that there are a lot more specifics to share. We probably brought too much content as we have tended to do in these hearings, so we other going to probably take your cues, committee member, about how much depth you want to go into. Were going to proceed at a brisk pace until and unless you ask us to slow down and go a little bit more deliberately. With that, i would like to ask my colleague to comment a bit about the work thats happening to plan for a return to physical inperson learning when the conditions and the course of the pandemic permit that to happen safely. Then well go right in to the information about Distance Learning. Great. Thank you. The chief facilities officer for sfusd and i am happy to report to commissioners and supervisors that we actually continue to make substantive progress in our planning and for resuming inperson learning as well as Distance Learning at this time. And that there are a number of persistent questions that have been presented to us over the past few months and particularly the summer. And i wanted to talk about the process for figuring out what being open will look like and where we are. Next slide. As you are aware, our current plan is to stay and we are required to stay 100 Distance Learning as a School District and so we will not be doing inperson learning on august 17. In addition to our 100 Distance Learning right now, we are moving towards a gradual return and what we are calling a hybrid scenario where we would have limited inperson School Smaller dproups of priority students at a focused number of physical student locations and then as we continue to have both the science that allows us to reopen schools and resources that come into compliance and alignment and to allow us to open inperson schools, we will do so. And talk a little bit about the high level of what were thinking. And starting first with Distance Learning, then phase two hybrid and one day hopefully sooner rather than later a full return to inperson learning. This next slide really i think summarizes much of the progress thats been made in our own thinking as the School District. And most importantly, we have made a recommendation which the board of ed supports around who we should prioritize for inperson learning when that is able to happen. We want to focus on the younger learners particularly pk2, students with moderate to severe disabilities, vulnerable population, especially homeless and foster youth, and students of all ages who are participating with less than 60 of the time engaged in online learning. That actually that step actually has huge implications for the choices of facilities and how we would allocate resources as a School District. Particularly pk2 students can only be located in classrooms that have already been built for them. So you cant put a pk2 student in a High School Classroom or a middle school classroom. They have to be in Elementary School classrooms that are located on floors that meet fire code and other kind of safety access and restrictions that are applied to the student groups, so that means as we think about resuming inperson learning we are focussing first on Elementary School buildings in order to be able to serve the youngest learner population. Older student cans be in classrooms physically designed for younger students but as a practice, we would also try and maintain separation of ages. So thats an important thing just as were going through the very complicated decision tree about who arrives first and what order and how students move across school sites is important to understand. Having made our first major cut in our Decision Making of focussing on Elementary School buildings and youngest learners and vulnerable students, we begin to play with scheduling. Again, deciding to prioritize pk2 students and depending on the desk distancing, right now the current d. P. H. Guidance allows for a range of 3 to 6 feet. We dont know what the final health orreder will say, but that range is pretty dramatic. 6 feet distancing reduces classroom capacity by about 50 and whereas 3 feet would allow you to get pretty close to the maximum classroom size currently allowed for k2 students anyway. And there are huge implications of whether you will be forced to alternate students on an every other day or every other week kind of basis and serve that entire focal population with inperson learning. If you can put more students in the classroom being able to resume something with the daily instruction and that is what we are playing with next. This is the dialogue in close communication with d. P. H. To help shape the thinking and the next piece is to think about the ways to reschedule. And we are also thinking about all the spaces and not just buildings but particularly the outdoor spaces and other outdoor spaces in the city and ways to think about that can support inperson learning and that is a wide range of options and the actual classrooms outside to thi
