The CDPH released a mandatory directive on July 17, 2020:

“schools and school districts may reopen for in-person instruction at any time if they are located in a local health jurisdiction (LHJ) that has not been on the county monitoring list within the prior 14 days.

If the LHJ has been on the monitoring list within the last 14 days, the school must conduct distance learning only, until their LHJ has been off the monitoring list for at least 14 days.

San Francisco County was placed on the monitoring list on July 17, 2020.

Student Comments from Town Hall ThoughtExchange: What are some things that could make your learning experience better?

20

During social

distancing I feel like

school needs more kids

interacting with kids

not just teachers

Making distance learning more consistent , some teachers gave almost no work, and some loaded us with assignments

I barely got to talk to my friends and peers besides during Zoom classes

Teachers having a more

personal connection with

students. Distance learning causes a

disconnect between students and teachers

I think have the

teachers doing live

teaching

So it can be

interactive

More teacher interaction

Themes from our Data & Stakeholder Feedback

We have heard from many in our community and continue to gather more feedback. Some themes have been consistent and clear:

● The health and safety of students and staff is paramount. ● Our students benefit most from in-person instruction and

appreciate human connection.● Successful distance learning requires clarity, consistency and

coherence. Our teachers, students and their families need guidance on receiving and providing distance learning.

● Students, families and staff need consistent access to technology and the Internet as well as the support and training to use SFUSD’s various online platforms.

● SFUSD must strengthen relationships with community based partners and City partners to connect more resources to more families to meet essential needs for all.

Recommendation

25

Phase 1: Distance Learning initially (phased return)

Phase 2: Hybrid

Phase : Full Return

● All students begin in distance learning on August 17

● Plan for Distance Learning to start and then phase into a hybrid model once science and data suggest it is safe to do so

● Consider limited in-person school for small groups of priority students at a limited number of physical school locations as we move into Phase 2

Values to guide Personnel Policies

The personnel working group, a diverse stakeholder group made up of SFUSD teachers, administrators, central office staff, families and CBO members, has met several times and created a set of values that guide our personnel policies during the COVID-19 pandemic:

1. Science guides health, safety and wellness

2. All staff have an important role to play

3. Family partnerships

4. High expectations for ALL

5. Equity for staff, too

In Person Learning Logistics Decision Tree

37

Make it Happen

(“Build Out”)

Move all the desks, distribute the PPE, hang all the signs, install the portable sinks, make sure the windows open, etc., etc...

Determine Total In-Person Learning

Seats

Given staffing resources and health mandates, determine a supply of “in person learning seats” we can provide for students.

Place and Schedule Available

Seats

Given physical configuration of SFUSD school sites and Target Student Populations,, where and when should we place students?

Prioritize Target

Student Populations

Given limited “seats”, prioritize target student populations for in-person instruction.

● Key facilities considerations shaping in person learning opportunities:

○ SFUSD’s 300 Custodians can clean *and* disinfect about 3.2 million sq ft daily. SFUSD’s total school site square footage is close to 8 million sq ft.

○ Public transportation is projected to operate at 30% of normal capacity by end of August.

○ SFUSD’s transportation could require up to double the FY 2021 budget to serve existing students at currently assigned sites.

● Themes running through feedback:○ Need clear roles & responsibilities for cleaning and

disinfecting; how much will educators be asked to do on a daily basis?

○ Concern for differently abled students, and how social distancing might negatively impact their experience

○ Are there ways to support families and kids with “enrichment options” to support distance learning? How can/should outdoor learning occur?

Digital Distance Learning

Technology can be leveraged for personalized learning

experiences, providing student-centered learning

opportunities that are scaffolded, student-paced, adaptive,

engaging, and flexible so that all students meet rigorous

academic standards and effectively communicate,

collaborate, create, and think critically as global citizens in

preparation for college and career. Through

technology-enabled learning, students can have agency,

choice, and voice in their learning pathway.

Non-Digital Distance Learning

Non-digital learning serves students uniquely in the

teaching and learning environment where a high and

deep level of engagement occurs between the students

and content through resources to include texts, journals,

trade books, leveled texts and other physical materials.

As students experience learning through non-digital

content, there are multiple and recurring opportunities

to revisit content in various ways and connect the

learning to themselves, their community and the world.

Supports for Special Student Populations

50Students with Individualized Education PlansSpecial education students require specialized academic instruction and related services in order to access and thrive educationally. We know that we have to be intentional in our support for students with IEPs to support their needs in distance learning.

English LearnersEnglish learners benefit from routines and consistency across grade levels and teachers. English Learners require Designated and daily Integrated ELD to support their language development needs.

Foster, Homeless, Sheltered & Recently DetainedThese students and families are already managing other big transitions during our collective transition and we will work to ensure support is in place to onboard them smoothly, build connections to the school community, and check regularly to address barriers as they arise.

Minimally Engaged StudentsStudents who logged on and/or participated in distance learning less than sixty percent of the time during the Spring semester and need a different approach to supporting successful learning for the Fall. .

Priority Student Groups

We have identified a number of priority groups for in person learning. The Teaching and Learning Work Group highlighted four subsets of the population that would benefit from in-person learning first:

● Our youngest learners PK-2● Students with moderate to severe disabilities ● Vulnerable Populations (homeless, foster youth)● Students with less than 60% of the time engaged in online

learning

Rethinking the Use of Time and Space

We are rethinking time and space to facilitate in-person learning, a component of our District’s 10-Big Shifts as outlined in Vision 2025. Examples being explored include, but are not limited to, outdoor learning facilities, access for targeted student populations, and rotating schedules for students.

Grouping Options/Possibilities for Students

We are identifying different ways to group students, modeling options for scheduling small student cohorts on alternating days, half days or week/month long blocks.
