An update on "to-do's" to reopen our schools safely
We wanted to give you an update on the status of the safety measures we were still finishing
-
MERV-13 air filters have been installed at all of our schools and all of our TTUSD facilities
-
All of the desk shields have arrived. The installation is almost complete with desk shields in every classroom at all of our schools. We only have eight remaining classrooms (at NTS) to finish which will be done this week.
-
The new interior wash stations should arrive this week for each of our campuses
-
We have created a TTUSD dashboard for COVID-19 cases within TTUSD (students and staff) that will be in place for when we reopen our schools. The dashboard is live (you can find it on our COVID-19 updates and resources page at ttusd.org/virus
As a reminder, for everyone’s peace of mind, TTUSD has specific TTUSD COVID procedures prepared with a systematic process in place for notifying staff and parents should COVID-19 hit one of our schools when we reopen. We’re following PCOE’s four response scenarios outlined here. As a summary, the four scenarios are as follows:
-
Scenario 1 (Symptoms): A student or staff member exhibits any COVID-19 symptoms, which cannot otherwise be explained with pre-existing conditions (ex. seasonal allergies).
-
Scenario 2 (Close Contact w/Positive Case): A student or staff member has been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.
-
Scenario 3 (Positive test): A student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19.
-
Scenario 4 (Negative test): A student or staff member tests negative for COVID-19
We are putting the finishing touches on a new Safety Guidebook for all TTUSD families - students, parents, and staff - which details the safety measures in place, when you can and can’t come on campus, and the expectations for when students and staff are on campus. New FAQs will be posted as well. Stay tuned for both of them which will be out by next week.
