Background:
 
At the June 23, 2020 Board Meeting, staff presented the Board with recommendations for the Flexible Model schedule and Remote Model concept for the 2020-21 school year.

 

Following the Board’s approval of staff recommendations, Working Groups were formed to create guidance and procedures for both, a Flexible and Remote Model for the Fall. A Working Group Orientation Meeting for all lead members was held on June 24 to review the scope of work, discuss collaboration protocols, recruitment of members, and calendaring.

 

Staff will also share with the Board additional potential modifications and adjustments for opening of school in fall in light of the current concerns around increasing COVID-19 case rates in Alameda county.

  • Athletics & Events
  • Grading (guidance and systems NOT policy)
