• What are the considerations for the pilots taking place? Our goal is to ensure that each pilot is replicable, flexible, and expandable. We are also taking into consideration the impact of the pilot on the current virtual classroom while balancing parent choice. Team LGUSD is mindful of parent stakeholders who expressed a strong desire for their child(ren) to remain with their current teacher regardless of being remote or in-person. The pilots will provide us additional information for future planning.

• What safety precautions are in place for students and staff participating in an in-person pilot? Participating teachers and staff members are approaching the pilots methodically and strategically. Families will be provided a daily soft copy of a Covid Symptom Check Form prior to each child entering campus. Upon arrival to campus, participating students will have their temperature checked and will proceed to their intended destination. Students will be required to maintain physical distancing on campus and masks will be required.

• Why didn’t site Principals announce to the community which classrooms are participating in a pilot? As we all know, the topic of reopening schools is one of the most polarizing topics education has been faced with to date. In order to encourage and foster a sense of support in our community, we are asking for your trust while strategic pilots take place at every school site. As we want these pilots to be successful, we will continue to be as transparent and as timely as possible with our communication in a holistic manner.
