The district is following regulations and recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the state Health Department on how to proceed if someone tests positive for COVID. Horchak replied that health screenings should be done by parents at home due to the district’s responsibility for students at bus stops and to avoid delaying start times at Clearview and Mantua. Parent Marna Salimena questioned the board about contact tracing and health screening procedures during the meeting’s public comment. Students would be instructed to sit in every other seat, skipping the seats of students in a prior class because of the industrial-grade cleaning supplies. “We’re going to continually revise some of those times - the start and end times - and they could differ by about 10 minutes depending on how many individuals opt out in the forthcoming survey.”īuildings will be cleaned every day once students and staff vacate, and desks in classrooms cleaned after each class. We have some tweaking to do in regards to classes,” the superintendent revealed. “There are some changes that could occur. Grading would operate the same and completion of assignments falls on students, all of whom are expected to log in around 8 a.m. Students at home would have a structured school schedule to follow and would log in for accountability purposes. Classroom modifications will be made to keep students apart, but to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19, all students and staff are required to wear masks all day. Lab classes, home economics and certain elective classes (music, robotics, etc.) are expected to be delivered with both options, but are dependent on how the departments sets up the process. One-way hallways are being reviewed to keep the flow of foot traffic in a singular direction. Ideally, virtual instruction would be done with video, but some courses may only have the option of audio, depending on the teacher.

Further information on students who have special needs is individualized and the child study team is being consulted on options.Īll classes would be synchronous to both the in-person and virtual instructions, where a student at home receives the same lesson as those in person. Cohorts are not set by the day of the week.ĭistrict-owned Chromebooks would be issued to every student to ensure equity in remote instruction. Day two picks up where day one left off, but remotely, at sixth period. Day one would consist of five periods of regular academics and either a physical education or social emotional learning class at the end. “We believe five days is our best approach for supervised instruction, especially because we don’t know if this is planned for a week, a month or a year.”Ī student in cohort A would come to school every other day, and their eight periods of class met throughout those days. “Clearview Regional plans on having our middle- and high-school students at 50 percent of our population in every other day, five days a week …” Horchak explained. It is unknown if the same cohorts would apply to elementary students. The hope is that students in one family can be grouped together in one cohort. Some students from Harrison Township could be bundled with Mantua Township or vice versa, depending on survey results. Students would be divided in two cohorts, A and B, and to alleviate pressure on transportation, those would ideally be decided based on where a student lives. The proposed hybrid option would have students in the middle and high schools roughly five hours a day with a rotating period schedule. Polarizing views on reopening have divided communities in the area, he continued, but each decision was made and modified based on statistics and the ability to properly educate children in a safe environment. “Our priority remains to maintain the health and safety of our students and staff, while infusing the maximum amount of live, synchronous instruction as possible,” Horchak stated. All five have met on a weekly basis with each other, with a larger, district-wide meeting held every other week.

School restart plans in the Clearview district were formulated by five subcommittees: curriculum and instructional technology, health and wellness, operations, governance and facilities and transportation. Clearview has a contract with Mantua to provide school transportation for the township.

Superintendent John Horchak shared the district’s plan to move forward with a hybrid model of learning, but he cautioned the plan could change based on results of transportation and remote- option surveys, as well as the Mantua Township School District’s plans.
