Board hears update on instructional continuity plan for school closures
Summary
Staff told the board the district is refining its instructional continuity plan to specify alternate sites, communications, and contract language for closures; principals and the teachers'bargaining unit will be consulted before a fuller report next meeting.
The presiding board member asked staff for an update on the district's instructional continuity plan. Paula (student support services staff) said the district has added new language to the teachers' contract related to school closures and will meet with principals this week to identify alternate sites, clarify how the district would communicate with families, and draft a basic timeline for emergency scenarios such as a power outage or water loss.
Paula said the plan will focus on realistic, likely disruptions (for example, a school losing power or water) rather than only planning for catastrophic events. She said the district will consult the teachers'bargaining unit for their input and present more detailed recommendations at the next board meeting after cabinet review and principal feedback.
