2. Vaccines for educators and Thinking about a possible Spring/Fall return to in person school.
Educators across the state of Rhode Island have been prioritized to receive the COVID-19 vaccine based on availability. In addition, the diligence of students and staff in mask wearing and social distancing, the installation of filtration systems in classrooms, and the availability for weekly Binax Testing has resulted in lower positivity rates within schools. These factors and social distancing have helped us to navigate the last six months of school. Our journey has not been without challenges, and we need to prepare for the next challenge with COVID-19, increasing the number of students that may be able to return to school in the Spring and Fall. We do not know if the social distancing requirement will be lowered which would increase capacity in classrooms, hallways, and busses.
Next week, BWRSD will issue a survey asking parents whether they want their children to return to in person school. This information will be used to plan a graduated return for more students sometime this Spring. Please start thinking about your decision and complete the survey when we distribute it next week.
