For middle school and high school, we also have two choices but the delivery model is slightly different. The
         differences are based on the level of independence of students. They are also based on the robust nature
         of the program of studies and variations in courses. As a starting point for the year with plans to run through
         the  end  of  September  at  least,  this  model  significantly  reduces  the  number  of  students  in  physical
         attendance. It increases the importance – however – that students at home are able to stay on track with
         curriculum pacing and learning. The increased independence of students will allow them to follow along with
         direct instruction and continue engagement in learning activities in a more synchronous environment. More
         information about technology will be shared in an upcoming slide.


































         Students with Intensive Needs
         Lead Person: Building Principal and Director of Student Services & Special Education
               ●  For some educational programs (e.g., Autistic Support and Life Skills Support), it is critical to
                   provide additional planning.
               ●  Key Concepts: Smaller number of students with intensive needs in classrooms (Sensory rooms);
                   Consideration  of  close  proximity  for  student  and  staff  member(s)  (e.g.  PPE);  1:1  intense
                   intervention safety needs; and detailed procedures were established for each intensive program
                   to address sanitation, related services, hygiene, etc.
               ●  K-12: Special Education and Students in Tier III Interventions will have three options:
                       ○  Attend in-person every day (green)
                       ○  Attend in-person on an A/B day schedule [students remotely connect on alternating days]
                          (green/blue)
                       ○  Attend 100% virtually [K-6 taught by a teacher designated as the virtual teacher] or [7-12
                          these students will remotely connect to their classrooms and follow the same schedule as
                          in-person students] (yellow)
               ●  Members of the Pupil Services office are collaborating with special programming schools in the
                   region  to  share  best  practices  for  PPE  and  health/safety  mitigation.  These  strategies  will  be
                   provided  to  teachers  and  paraprofessionals  during  return-to-school  training  and  professional
                   development.
               ●  Specific  training  and  classroom-by-classroom  procedures  are  being  developed.  Additional
                   communication and training will be addressed at the building, classroom and student level based
                   on the Individual Education Plan (IEP).
