SCHOOL START 2020–21: BOARD UPDATE

July 30, 2020

Objective

Provide the IPS Board of School Commissioners an update on planning for SY 20-21:

Review of the vision/non negotiables

Key Recommendation and Rationale

Full Virtual: Key Components

SY 2020–21 Start

Vision for school year start in light of COVID-19

3 Vision

IPS needs to maximize in-person time for the purpose of prioritizing high-quality instruction to our students …

While prioritizing the safety of our students and staff …

And operating in alignment with city planning and expectations for reopening the economy.

Non-Negotiables

❑ Social distancing prioritized; including monitoring class size and cohorting students where possible.

❑ COVID-specific safety protocols must be in place at all schools, including but not limited to plans to: a) limit use of common spaces; b) disinfect spaces and equipment at regular intervals; and c) respond to ill students and staff, etc.

4 1. Safety Non-Negotiables

When IPS returns to school, the following “non-negotiables” will need to be in place

Non-Negotiables

❑ A full-time e-learning option must be available to all students who must opt-out of in-person school: IPS must ensure that students and families for whom school is unsafe must have a full-time e-learning option. This is also crucial for protection against enrollment loss to virtual schools and/or home schooling.

❑ E-learning must be quickly implementable for 100% of students if rolling closures occur: Even if IPS is able to return to in-person learning, until a vaccine is widely available, IPS must be ready to transition fluidly between remote and in-person learning options.

❑ Extended time options must be available for our neediest students: Our low-income students of color are most likely to be adversely affected by extended closures. IPS must organize to provide our neediest students with additional tutoring, supports and time to learn grade-level content.

❑ Social emotional learning will be prioritized but will need to evolve:Classic relationship-building activities, such as advisory groups or home visits, will need to change, but IPS’ commitment to supporting students’ emotional needs will not.

5 2. Academic Non-Negotiables

Non-Negotiables

IPS must balance increased COVID-related expenses while anticipating the possibility of declining revenue: Facilities changes, smaller bus routes, and new IT infrastructure could incur significant new costs for the district. That said, the district must prepare to implement them in a financially sustainable way, anticipating that IPS and all other school districts may face a revenue hit as the state moves into recession.

6 3. Financial Non-Negotiables

7 Recommendation

Saturday, 7/18/2020

• Voted to continue with current plan (open in person with elearning option), but with 2 week delay in school start• Move school start date from August 3rd to August 17th

• Rationale• On Wednesday, July 15th Governor Holcomb delayed the

State transition to Stage 5 by at least two weeks• Marion County percentage of positive cases is currently

increasing, not decreasing• Allows for additional time to review key information and

ensure planning and communication effectiveness

Updated Recommendation to the Board

• Start the school year 20-21 executing a full time remote learning model for all students• School year still begins on August 17• Learning hubs for our most vulnerable• Plan for phasing back to in-person learning

Rationale

• At this time, the current data trends in Marion County do not support the safe return of all students to an in-person learning environment in our school buildings.• High rates of community spread will significantly disrupt our ability to

provide a safe and consistent learning experience• Indianapolis was one of eleven cities identified at the national level to

take aggressive steps to control the coronavirus (IndyStar)• Indianapolis has not had a 7-day average below 100+ new cases since

July 18 (97)• Last week, state and city leaders put additional measures and restrictions

in place that should address the upward trend in new cases and promote a safer return to in-person learning in the fall

Rationale

• The data continues to trend with a high number of cases in Marion County

• Metric: COVID-19 Cases per 100,000 as of July 28; two week Rolling Average

• 7/28: 142 new cases

Calendar Update

• 2 week student delay is made up by: • Making Fall Break a virtual school week• Making the first week of Spring Break a virtual school

week• Staff reporting implications:

• The week of August 3 - teachers do not report. • All other school staff will report and be supporting device

support/deployment if needed, attending PD virtually• The week of August 10 all staff attend district led PD

14 Full Time Remote Learning Model

Full Time Remote Learning

15 Goals that are driving decisions

• The team has been modeling this scenario throughout the Spring/Summer.

• Goals:• Promote the physical safety of IPS students• Meet the academic needs of IPS students• Promote the physical safety of IPS staff• Prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable

students/families

16 Instructional Model Summary

• Instruction will be delivered daily by a student’s homeroom teacher OR content area teacher using Microsoft Teams.

• Student Attendance will be taken daily or every period (MS/HS) by the student’s teacher. Teacher(s) will verify student attendance by the student’s presence on Microsoft Teams daily.

• Students and teachers will follow a set schedule daily following the required instructional minutes. Schedules will be created/determined by the school leader.

• Elementary, Middle and High School schedules should begin at varied times to ensure that families can support children in logging on and beginning their school day. The student day in the full virtual model should begin no earlier than 9:00am. The teacher day will start and end at the regular contractual time.

• Teachers should record lessons in Teams so that lessons are available to students to view in the event they are absent or need additional intervention.

• Additional detail provided in the Appendix.

17 Professional Development Plan (Summary)

• Will be providing 5 half day afternoon sessions from 8/10- 8/14

• Principals will have flexibility to determine morning sessions

• Service:• Mondays & Wednesdays (12-3)• Tuesdays & Thursdays (9-12)• Families will receive 2 days’ worth of meals on M/T and 3 days’ worth

on W/Th.

19 Student Support Strategy (in development)

IPS Learning

In-person Related

Services (by appointment;

based on student IEP)

Student Support Network

20 IPS Learning Hub

• The goal:• Hubs provide a stable, safe environment where students

who qualify for McKinney-Vento services can engage in remote learning in a structured space

• The model design:• IPS plans to provide one Elementary School, one Middle

School, and one High School hub, with the potential to expand to a second Elementary School hub depending on the length of time schools are closed

In-Person Phase-In Strategy

Phase 3

● Metrics established upon the start of phase 2

● All students may return to in person learning (will have the ability to opt-into full remote)

Phase 1

● IPS Full Remote Learning is the default for all students

● IPS establishes support strategies to serve our most vulnerable

● Food service is available across the organization

Phase 2

● Initiated after 14 day average of 5% (or lower) positivity rate

● Identify students who may return to in person learning (will have the ability to opt-into full remote)

Phase 2 will not be implemented any earlier than October 2 to allow for continuity of planning for students, families, and staff. Continued consultation with the Marion County Public Health Department will occur throughout all phases.

22 Communications/Next Steps

Communications Plan

Date Action
