Section 2: Mitigation Strategies

Facial CoveringsAll students and staff are required to wear masks indoors, regardless of their vaccine status.Face coverings are strongly recommended, but not required, while outdoors where distancing isnot practical or possible.

Definition: A tightly woven fabric or non-woven material with no visible holes or openings whichcovers the nose and mouth. (California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3205. COVID-19prevention.)

● NUSD shall provide face coverings and ensure they are worn over the nose and themouth;

● All staff, students and visitors must wear facial coverings, while indoors, except wheneating and drinking;

● Facial coverings are personal and should not be shared;● Face shields with drapes may be used as a replacement for face coverings when the

person has an exemption or requires full visibility of the mouth while teaching. Shieldswith drapes will be provided if needed;

● NUSD has purchased a variety of styles of masks/face coverings to meet the needs ofour diverse learners and staff. If a student or staff member requires a non-traditionalmask, they need to reach out to their school office or supervisor for assistance.

Masks and staff:● Staff in all school site buildings must wear a face covering except while eating, drinking,

or outdoors.● Face shields with drapes are available when teaching subject matter that requires full

view of the face and mouth or if the individual qualifies for a mask exemption.Locker rooms:

● Face coverings are required in all indoor locations, including locker rooms, with theexception of showering.

Recess/Outdoor Activities● Masks are not required outdoors, but they are strongly encouraged in situations where

staff/students are in close contact with each other. Stable cohorts and staggered recesstimes may be considered to limit mixing. In the event that a person involved in outdooractivities has tested positive for COVID, extensive contact tracing will ensue todetermine who was in close contact and to what extent the affected parties were masked

during the interaction. Close contacts in the outdoor setting should be treated the sameas indoor close contacts with regard to quarantine recommendations.

PE:● Masks are required for indoor PE activities. Masks are not required outdoors, but

schools should consider encouraging masks for contact sports and when studentsand/or staff require close contact.

Athletics:

CDPH Guidance and State and Local Health Orders require face coverings indoors, includingwhen practicing or playing in a gym, unless the mask presents a choking hazard as confirmedby a well-recognized health authority such as the American Academy of Pediatrics. Masks arenot required outdoors, but should be strongly considered when students and/or staff are in closecontact with each other, including when practicing or playing contact sports. In an effort toreduce the spread of COVID with indoor sports, football and waterpolo, the following applies:

1. All High School indoor athletes, football and water polo athletes are required to gettested weekly;

2. Per the November 16, 2021, CDPH Guidance, basketball and volleyball players mustwear a mask during practice, scrimmages and game play unless they participate inweekly testing (PCR, pooled or antigen testing);

3. Any athlete or team can request testing as needed for symptomatic individuals orpotential exposure.

4. If there is a positive case on the sports team, all close contact athletes must bequarantined from the sport for a minimum of 7 full days (a negative test after the 5th dayand the student can return on the 8th day).

When equipment is shared during an activity, participants should follow the hand washingguidelines and use hand sanitizer before and after the event. If the hand washing andsanitation guidelines are followed, balls or other objects can be touched by multiple players andused during practices. Team members cannot share water bottles or other personal items.NUSD has installed water bottle filling stations at all campuses.

Spectators: Spectators are required to wear face coverings in indoor settings. Spectators arestrongly encouraged to wear face coverings in outdoor settings when distancing is not practicalor possible.

Band, Drama and Music: Face coverings are required for all indoor activities. For activitieswhere face coverings cannot be worn, such as singing and playing wind instruments, the

expectation is that the event will be conducted outside. For wind instruments, SCPH requires atleast one of the following options:

1. Conduct the activity outdoors2. Use modified face coverings and bell coverings when playing wind and brass

instruments, and maintain 6’ of physical distancing3. Perform at least weekly screening testing of all individuals, including those who are fully

vaccinated

Exemptions for Facial CoveringsThe followings are exemptions to wearing face coverings on District property:

● When an employee is alone in a room. This includes private offices and classroomswhen no one is present. This does not include common areas or space that is used for apass through (eg: an office space that is open to the public or has other individualspassing through to get to their office). In the event that an individual's work area is also apass through or common area, masks must be worn at all times on all District properties;

● While eating and drinking at the workplace;● Employees wearing respiratory protection;● Employees/students who cannot wear face coverings due to a medical or mental health

condition or disability, or who are hearing-impaired or communicating with ahearing-impaired person;

● While performing specific tasks which cannot feasibly be performed with a face covering.This exception is limited to the time period in which such tasks are actually beingperformed, and the unmasked employee shall be at least six feet away from all otherpersons;

● Students with IEPs or 504 plans that specifically identify mental health, sensoryprocessing deficits, autism or intellectual disabilities, may be exempt from wearing amask. Every effort will be made by the behavior support team to assist the individualwith wearing a mask. An IEP/504 plan alone does not exempt a person from wearing amask. The disability must make it difficult to wear a mask. Consult with your schoolpsychologist or call the SSS department if you have questions. Possible actions to taketo support students with IEP/504 exemptions include:

a. To the extent possible, ensure that the student maintains an appropriate physicaldistance from other staff and students.

b. Work with the behavior specialist to address the concerns.c. Offer an effective non-restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape,

or a plexiglass shield, if their disability permits it.

Updated 11/19/21

d. Make sure you are using appropriate PPE when in close proximity with studentswho are unable to wear a face covering.

e. Convene the IEP team to add goals or update the behavior plan.

Per the July 12, 2021 CDPH guidance for K-12 schools, in order to comply with the facemaskguidance, schools must exclude students and staff from campus if they are not exempt fromwearing a face covering and refuse to wear one provided by the school. NUSD will work closelywith families to resolve issues that may arise regarding the wearing of masks/face coverings,including enrollment in Independent Study or the Larry G. Meeks Academy.

Medical Exemptions: Per the August 29, 2021 Guidance, if an NUSD site receives numerousmedical exemptions from the same provider, or has a reason to suspect a provider may beissuing fraudulent exemptions, SCPH should be notified. Redflags include exemptions from aprovider outside the immediate area, or exemptions that include non-medical or ideologicalrationale.

Physical DistancingRecent evidence provided by CDPH suggests that in-person instruction can occur safely withoutphysical distancing, indoors or outdoors, when other mitigation strategies, such as the use offacial covering, are implemented. Starting with the 2021-22 school year, physical distancing isno longer required when face coverings are worn appropriately. Per the SupplementalGuidance, dated August 29, 2021, schools should make every effort to maximize distancing inall settings as long as such efforts do not interfere with full time attendance for all students.

Assigned Seating: to facilitate effective contact tracing, schools, to the extent possible, will haveconsistent, assigned seating. Staff will maintain accurate seating charts, including the averagedistance between seats. The seating charts will be available to the site assigned contact tracers.

Lunch time: It is recommended that physical distancing occur, to the extent possible, duringlunch, or when individuals are eating or drinking and are not wearing their face coverings.When possible, school site administration may opt to allow students to eat outdoors where theycan spread out as much as possible. Consistent seating during mealtime is recommended as itminimizes potential exposures and helps make contact tracing more effective. In the event of aCOVID exposure, students sitting within 6 feet of one another will be considered unmaskedclose contacts.

Special Education: Access and inclusion are requirements for a Free and Appropriate PublicEducation (FAPE). Service providers, including but not limited to contracted providers, itinerantand site teachers, related service providers, and mental and physical health support staff willhave full access to students and will no longer be required to maintain stable cohorts.

Service providers, such as speech-language pathologists and psychologists, may servestudents in their classrooms or in small groups. All individuals must wear face covering unless itimpedes specialized service delivery during the related services sessions. In this case, a shieldor a clear mask is required. All service providers and students must, to the extent possible,maintain a physical distance of 6’ or greater.

Students who require mainstreaming or inclusion as a part of their IEP program must be allowedaccess to the general education classroom.

Transportation: Bus services will resume without physical/social distancing. Windows will beopen, when possible, to improve air flow. Families are required to self-screen prior to placingtheir child on the bus. All riders must wear a mask.

Outside Activities: There are no physical distancing requirements outside.

Maintain Healthy OperationsIn order to maintain healthy operations, the following actions are in place:

1. All individuals on campus are required to conduct a passive screen prior to enteringcampus. If someone is symptomatic on campus, an active screen will be conducted andthe individual will be isolated;

2. Student Services and Support is responsible for responding to COVID-19 cases. Thesite nurses oversee contact tracing and are the direct contact, for their assigned sites, toSCPH;

3. NUSD has a communication dashboard that notifies the public of any positive cases onDistrict property. FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and HIPPA(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) medical privacy guidelines arestrictly adhered to at all times;

4. Testing and vaccinations are offered to the Natomas community free of charge;5. Rapid and PCR testing is available at each school site. Pooled testing is being utilized

6. Urgent Care Now Natomas, a free medical clinic for under and uninsured students andstaff is open Monday and Fridays at 1931 Arena Blvd. The clinic will provide testing andhealth screenings (strep, ear infections, flu, upper respiratory infections, etc) todetermine whether the student/staff is safe to be on campus;

7. The NUSD Mobile Health Clinic will be available in thewinter/spring 2021 to travel to schools, apartmentcomplexes, community centers and other locationswith underrepresented students, to offer vaccines,testing and health screening;

8. NUSD has installed water bottle filling stations at allcampuses. Staff and students are requested to bringa water bottle with them each day. Water bottles areprovided for those who need one;

9. NUSD has purchased hand sanitizer and wipes for allclassrooms and office spaces as well as dispensersthroughout campuses and work stations;

10. NUSD has placed mobile wash stations at schools. Additional soap dispensers havealso been installed in bathrooms throughout our schools.

MERV and HEPA FiltersTo maximize the flow of fresh air, and to reduce the level of particulates/contaminates in the air,NUSD has installed HEPA filters and MERV13 air filters (the type normally used in hospitalsettings) district-wide. PBK architects reviewed and certified NUSD’s upgrade to Merv 13 airfilters, and the installation of HEPA air purifiers.

● NUSD has invested in MERV upgraded filters for our Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning(HVAC) systems districtwide. The upgraded filters remove a higher level ofparticulates/contaminants from the air;

● High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air purifiers have been installed in classrooms andoffices districtwide. These purifiers will scrub the air in classrooms and offices spacesthroughout the day;

● The NTA MOU, signed October 31, 2020, ensures that the District will operate the HVACsystems to allow for the most fresh air changes per hour. NUSD committed, in the MOU,the purchase of MERV 13 air filters for the HVAC system as well as HEPA air filter

GogglesAs COVID-19 is known to spread by respiratory dropletsthrough the air or by coming in contact with a contaminatedsurface and then touching the mucosal membranes in yournose and mouth, the CDC recommends wearing goggles in asituation of moderate to substantial community exposure. Inorder to keep staff and students safe, goggles are included aspart of the PPE in the isolation room, should staff choose towear them. It is recommended that staff wear either gogglesor a face shield when the situation warrants additionalcoverage. Prescription eyewear, reading glasses andsunglasses do not provide the same type of protection as theyare open around the side of the frames. Natomas providesgoggles and face shields as part of the PPE equipment at eachsite.

Respirators and protective clothingA respirator is a personal protective device that is worn on the face or head and covers at leastthe nose and mouth. A respirator is used to reduce the wearer’s risk of inhaling hazardousairborne particles (including infectious agents), gases or vapors. Respirators, including thoseintended for use in healthcare settings, are certified by the CDC. It is not recommended thatstaff wear surgical masks and respirators that are meant for healthcare workers. Currently,surgical masks and respirators are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcareworkers and other medical first responders to prevent supply shortages. NUSD has a supply ofrespirators and N95 masks for emergency use. Each site has a supply as part of their isolationroom PPE.

GownsGowns are examples of personal protective equipment used to protect the wearer from thespread of infection or illness if the wearer comes in contact with a potentially infectiousindividual. Gowns are provided in the isolation room.

Kindergarten parents must drop off and pick up their student at the designated drop off/pick uplocation. Staff will be there to greet the student. It is advisable that parents/guardians practicethis drop off/pick up prior to the first day of school. No parent/guardian will be allowed to walktheir student to class or enter the classroom.

Preschool parents, at drop off, will walk their student to the designated area outside of theclassroom and sign their student into school. Staff will guide the student into class. Noparent/guardian will be allowed to walk their student into class or enter the classroom. Atpick-up, students will be released from the classroom by staff to parents one at a time. Parentswill sign out their student at the designated area. It is advisable that parents/guardians practicethis drop off/pick up prior to the first day of school.

Facilities Use

Currently, NUSD allows non-profit youth oriented groups to use outside facilities, while churchesare allowed to use indoor multi-purpose rooms/gyms. All groups must sign an addendum thatstates they will comply with the current CDPH guidelines and will indemnify /hold the Districtharmless from any infection resulting from the use of District facilities.

Facility use will be expanded conservatively with the intention ofmonitoring any impacts on student/staff health. The facility use system will be opened fornon-school hour events (after 5 pm weekdays) by the middle of November for the followingactivities:

1. Indoor sports activities utilizing gym or multipurpose spaces2. PTA/Girl Scouts/ Boy Scouts (groups supporting NUSD students) meetings in the

multipurpose, library or gym3. Events that occur in an outside space (parking lot, quad, field) that are school related or

support students

As always, facility use permits are only approved time frames outside the regular school day,after 5 pm. Classroom spaces will not be available for facility use at this time. The school siteswill be notified that permits will begin to be approved by November 15. Staff will reassess theimpact of facility use on the schools at the end of December and make a recommendation on

the next steps. Please know that the availability of facilities at all campuses is always contingenton the availability of custodial staffing.

Section 5. Healthy Hygiene HabitsEach site has health staff assigned to support the health needs of the students and staff.Students may go to the office for basic health care needs, such as medication and other healthrelated concerns. There is a separate isolation area in the event that an individual issymptomatic on the campus. This isolation area is separate from the general health area in theschool.

NUSD has developed protocols for healthy hygiene habits. The protocols have been sharedwith staff and students through training videos, Zoom training and reminder posters are placedthroughout the District buildings and classrooms.

The District teaches and reinforces hand washing, no-contact with eyes and mouth, and how tocover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Staff and students are required to watch trainingvideos on proper technique. The videos are available on My NUSD Portal. Time is madeavailable for staff and students to watch the relevant videos. Staff are required to take a quiz atthe completion of each lesson. Videos regarding healthy hygiene include:

○ Hand washing○ Use of Face Mask○ COVID-19 Workplace Safety○ COVID-19 Cleaning & Disinfecting○ COVID-19 Symptoms○ What if I had COVID-19 & How long is COVID-19 Contagious?○ Tips for Managing COVID-19 at Home○ Help to Slow the Spread of COVID-19○ Understanding COVID-19: How to Stay Safe○ CDC Handwashing What You Need to Know○ CDC Hand Washing Page○ Hand washing poster

Healthy hygiene protocols include the requirement for sites to enforce the following:Frequent hand washing throughout the day

● Wash hands for 20 seconds with soap

Updated 11/19/21

Each site will be provided with tissue to wipe noses. Students and staff will cough/sneeze intotheir elbow.

Section 6. Signs, Symptoms, Exposure

Signs and Symptoms for Non-VaccinatedCOVID-19 is the disease caused by the new coronavirus thatemerged in December 2019. COVID-19 symptoms includecough, fever or chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing,muscle or body aches, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell,diarrhea, headache, fatigue, nausea or vomiting and congestionor runny nose. COVID-19 can be spread from person to person.

Updated 11/19/21

22

COVID-19 symptoms include:● Fever of 100.1 or higher (per NUSD guidelines)● Cough● Difficulty breathing● Loss of taste or smell

Staff, students and parents MUST stay home and not report to work or school if they areexperiencing COVID-19 symptoms, have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or havetested positive for COVID-19. Report to your supervisor, principal or teacher if you are stayinghome for COVID-19 related reasons. Contact tracing may be necessary based on specificcircumstances.

Signs and Symptoms for Vaccinated IndividualsWhile vaccinated individuals still seem to be protected from serious illness and hospitalizationfrom the Delta variant, the vaccine has never been a 100% promise. Individuals who arevaccinated can still test positive for COVID. Breakthrough Infection symptoms include mildsymptoms which may include:

1. Sore throat2. Congestion/runny nose3. Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea4. Headache5. Fatigue/muscle or body aches

Screening ProtocolNUSD still requires that all individuals engage in passive screening prior to entering campus ora District facility. If an individual is symptomatic at school, active screening will be conducted. Ifthe individual has any of the conditions listed above, they will not be permitted on campus. Toreturn to campus the following is required:

1. The individual has a negative COVID test and is 24 hours without a fever with asignificant reduction in symptoms

2. The individual has a note from a doctor with an alternative diagnosis and the individualhas a significant reduction in symptoms and has gone 24 hours without a fever

3. The individual has quarantined for 10 days from test or onset of symptoms

Updated 11/19/21

Types of screeningsPassive screening

● Students and staff will self-screen at home prior to getting on a school bus or coming toschool. If the following apply, do not come to school:

○ Temperature (at or above 100.1 degrees), cough, shortness of breath, chills,repeated shaking with chills, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell,fatigue, muscle or body aches, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea

● Report symptoms to your supervisor and the COVID-19 Response Team

Active Screening● Non-touch temperature will be taken prior to getting on a bus or at school if family does

not have a thermometer● Non-touch temperature scanner for staff/student/all outside service providers to use at

school if individual did not screen at home● Staff will ask if the individual being screened has experienced any of the COVID-19

symptoms● At any time during the day, staff may conduct a visual screening and determine whether

an Active Screen shall occur● If staff/student has a temperature of 100.1 or higher or is exhibiting COVID-19

symptoms, Protocol for Symptomatic Individual at School will be implemented

Visual Screening● Staff/student/visitor does not look healthy (eg: pallor, chills, sweating, excessive

coughing/nose blowing, etc.) or is complaining of not feeling well, staff/student/visitor willreport to the Health Room for an Active Screen

● If staff/student has a temperature of 100.1 or higher or is exhibiting COVID-19symptoms, Protocol for Symptomatic Individual at School will be implemented

● California State Preschool Program (CSPP): All students enrolled in the CSPP will berequired to have their temperature taken upon arrival. A student who has a fever of100.1 or higher will not be permitted to class. Additionally, all individuals, prior to enteringclass, will be required to answer questions as to whether anyone in their home has hadCOVID-19 symptoms or a positive test within the last 24 hours. Anyone answering in theaffirmative to these questions will not be allowed entry.

Updated 11/19/21

Symptomatic at SchoolAny individual who is symptomatic at school willbe placed in the isolation room until they can bepicked up.

Each school site has an identified isolationroom. The Isolation room has a PPE kit thatensures staff safety while supporting someonewho is symptomatic. Staff will monitor studentsthroughout the day, including conducting visualand active screenings. If a staff person feelsthat a student is not feeling well, an activescreen will be conducted. If a staff person is notfeeling well, or is not passing a visual screen,the principal may require the staff person toundergo an active screen. This is to ensure thesafety of the staff and students on the campus.

Any student who is exhibiting one or moresymptoms will need to be isolated. Staff willreview the student health record to rule outknown allergies and other health ailments thatmay contribute to the symptoms. If the studentdoes not have a health profile, the student willneed to wait in the isolation room until the

parents/guardian arrives. If a student is struggling to breathe, 911 must be called.

If the staff member is unable to drive, the staff must wait in the isolation room until they can bepicked up. If the staff person is struggling to breathe, 911 must be called.

In the event that a student or staff member is placed in the isolation room, the nurse andStudent Services and Support (SSS) must be notified. If 911 is called, the Superintendent'soffice must be notified. The nurse and/or SSS will provide further direction regarding next stepsfor the staff/student.

It is not necessary to exclude asymptomatic students and staff with whom the identifiedindividual has been in contact with until the individual’s test results are known.

Free rapid testing will be offered to any symptomatic individual on a school campus.

Confirmed Case and Next StepsProtocol for a Symptomatic Individual to Return to SchoolAll students who are able, are offered short term independent study while they self-quarantine.Students with disabilities will continue to be offered their special education services through avirtual format. Students who are not able to engage in short term independent study due toCOVID-19 symptoms, will receive an excused absence.

The student/staff who have symptoms must not attend in person activities while determining ifthere is an alternate cause of the symptoms or if the symptoms may be COVID-19 related.

● The staff/student has a negative COVID-19 test result, or,● The Healthcare provider has confirmed an alternate diagnosis for symptoms● The student/staff may return to school 24 hours after symptoms resolve/improve without

fever reducing medication;

Students/Staff Returning to School After a Positive COVID-19 diagnosis● The student/staff who has a positive test must self-isolate for 10 days AND may return to

campus after completing isolation if:○ They have had no fever without medication for 24 hours, and,○ Minimum of 10 days since test date

● If a student is able to complete school work, short term independent study will be offeredwhile the student self-isolates.

● If a student is unable to do the work due to illness, the absence will not affect grade orattendance.

● Through contact tracing, if it is confirmed that a vaccinated staff member contactedCOVID through work or a work related event, staff will not need to use sick days whilethey self-isolate.

3. All employees/students will be tested once and then one week later. NUSD will offerRapid Testing. Staff/students may opt to use their own medical provider; however, freetesting will be offered.

4. Testing will be offered once per week until the site no longer meets this qualification.5. Additional testing may be necessary as determined by the Health Department.6. All employees who have COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19 will stay home

as per NUSD guidelines.7. During contact tracing, staff will determine possible workplace related factors that may

have contributed to COVID-19 and address those factors immediately.8. All COVID-19 policies will be reviewed to ensure relevancy and update the policies as

needed or appropriate.9. This process will repeat every 30-days if the outbreak continues.10. SCPH will be contacted and involved in the actions taken at the District, including

decisions made regarding prevention.11. The nurse for each site is the SCPH contact person;12. Notification requirements to SCPH: employers are required to contact SCPH

immediately, but no more than 48 hours after learning of three or more COVID-19 casesto obtain guidance on preventing the further spread within the workplace

Major OutbreaksA major outbreak is defined as 20 or more COVID-19 cases within a 30-day period. Thisguidance applies until there are no new cases detected in a 14-day period. Per CCR, Title 8,Section 3205.2, the following applies:

COVID-19 testing. Natomas will provide twice a week COVID-19 testing, or more frequently ifrecommended by the local health department, to all staff and students who were present on theDistrict site for the relevant 30-day period(s) or for those who continue to come to school or workat the site. COVID-19 testing will be provided at no cost.

to contact SCPH immediately, but no more than 48 hours after learning of three or moreCOVID-19 cases to obtain guidance on preventing the further spread within the workplace

School Closure DeterminationA school closure, determined in consultation with SCPH, is when the decision is made that nostudents or staff are allowed on campus due to an outbreak or the determination that an activein-school transmission has occurred. Situations that may indicate the need for a school closureinclude:

1. Within a 14-day period an outbreak has occurred in 25% or more of the stable groups oncampus;

2. Within a 14-day period, at least three outbreaks have occurred and more than 5% of theschool population is infected.

The length of closure is 14-days unless a decision, in consultation with SCPH, advisesotherwise. The school may reopen after 14-days if the following conditions have been met:

1. The site is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected2. Public health has completed an investigation, with approval to reopen3. SCPH has been in consultation with the District and is in agreement with the reopening.

TestingTesting allows for early identification of cases and exclusion from school in order to help mitigatethe spread of COVID-19. As test results only represent a snapshot in time, NUSD providesPCR and rapid testing options free of charge as part of our total mitigation strategy.

Natomas is committed to the health of our community. In an effort to keep our staff and studentshealthy, the following guideline has been established: staff who are not vaccinated, or who havenot shown proof of a COVID vaccination, must submit to weekly testing. Testing will be offeredduring office hours at the school site and at the Community Clinic (1931 Arena Blvd) everyTuesday. Allowable tests include PCR tests and rapid tests administered by a recognizedcounty or state run clinic, pharmacy or private medical office. Home tests are not accepted.Completion of staff testing is a metric that will be reported weekly, so if a staff member choosesto get tested outside of the school testing program, proof will be required each week.

COVID testing is available on all campuses and through our community testing site (Tuesday at1931 Arena Blvd). NUSD offers PCR testing, rapid testing and is piloting pooled testing with ourathletes. We test asymptomatic individuals, as well as individuals who have been exposed or

Updated 11/19/21

29

are symptomatic. Testing required per the new quarantine guidance can be provided at theschool site and we will work to accommodate parent schedules.

Definitions:Asymptomatic testing is used for surveillance and to determine whether schools have a higheror lower COVID-19 rate than the community, to guide health and safety decisions in the Districtand to inform SCPH about in-district COVID-19 rates. Staff and students can be tested everyfew weeks for this purpose.

Asymptomatic testing may also be used to screen staff and students for possible COVID-19cases. The cadence for screening can be 1-2 times per week.

Response testing is used to identify positive individuals once a case has been identified in agiven stable group. Response testing can be done with symptomatic and asymptomaticindividuals with known or suspected exposure to COVID-19.

Symptomatic testing is used for individuals with symptoms of COVID-19, either at home or atschool.

Testing in a Non-Outbreak Setting

In addition to the other steps required in our mitigation plan, staff/students will be offered freetesting in the event of a positive case or exposure that does not meet the definition of anoutbreak or major outbreak.

Testing with Multiple Infections and Outbreaks

In the event of an outbreak, NUSD will offer PCR testing to all employees and students at thesite, with the exception of employees or students who have not been on site. The testing will beprovided at no cost to the employee/student. All employees/students will be offered testingonce the first week and again one week later. Testing will continue to be offered weekly until thesite no longer meets the qualification of an outbreak site.

Staff/students may opt to use their own medical provider; however, free testing will be offered.Although it is strongly encouraged, staff are not required to get tested (per Cal/OSHA, anemployer is required to offer the test at no cost and the employee may decline or refuse to takeit).

Updated 11/19/21

Testing in a Major Outbreak

Natomas will provide twice a week COVID-19 testing, or more frequently if recommended by thelocal health department, to all staff and students who were present on the District site for therelevant 30-day period(s) or for those who continue to come to school or work at the site.COVID-19 testing will be provided at no cost.

Vaccinations

School Vaccine Requirement

On October 1, 2021, the COVID vaccine became a required vaccine for in-person schoolattendance at any public or private school. The COVID-19 vaccine requirements will bephased-in by grade span, after the grade span (k-6 and 7-12) has been granted full approval bythe FDA. At this time, 16+ has full approval, however, full approval for 12-15 year olds as wellas K-6, is expected soon. This mandate is a condition of in-person attendance (HCS section120335(f)) but students may attend independent study or be homeschooled without receivingthe vaccine.

In addition to student vaccines, all staff will be required to be vaccinated no later than when therequirement takes effect for students. The current verify-or-test requirement for staff will beconverted to a vaccine mandate no later than when the first phase of the student requirementbecomes effective.

The regulations will take effect at the start of the following term after FDA approval, meaningeither January 1, 2022 or July 1, 2022, whichever comes first. (Education Code 37200). Basedon current projections for full approval for ages 12+, we anticipate the requirement would applyto grades 7-12 starting on July 1, 2022.

Per HSC section 120338, the COVID vaccine requirement was not established by legislation,and therefore, personal (including religious) and medical exemptions will be accepted.

NUSD offers staff and students COVID vaccines a minimum of once per month through our popup clinics. Pop up vaccination clinics are held at 1931 Arena Blvd and appointments can bemade at Vaccine appointments.

Notifications and LettersStaff/students/contractors (Person B) who have been in close contact with someone who hastested positive will be notified, within the same day tracing occurred, that they have beenexposed. Next steps will be provided, including information regarding self-quarantine, thenumber of days they will need to stay home, free testing, attendance, etc. The tracer willdetermine who the individual has been in contact with (Person C) and will document names inthe Confidential Tracking document. During the self-quarantine period, the tracer will check thehealth status of Person B and if the person is showing symptoms or has tested positive, PersonC will be quarantined. Within the same day of tracing, but no longer than 24 hours,staff/students/contractors will be notified by email of any potential exposure or positive case ofCOVID-19. In addition, parents/guardians are notified in person or via phone if their child’scohort/program is going to be closed. Staff and families are notified in person if they wereidentified in contact tracing. All positive cases of COVID-19 are posted on the Dashboard atCOVID-19 Dashboard.

As per the SCPH guidance, all positive cases and potential close contacts are reported toSCPH using this attached form.

Sacramento County Public Health Contact Tracing Form

In the event of an outbreak or a major outbreak, Cal/OSHA will be notified immediately, but nomore than 48 hours, after learning of three or more COVID-19 cases to obtain guidance onpreventing the further spread within the workplace.

Section 8. Contact Tracing andReportingInvestigation of COVID-19 CasesContact tracing occurs when there is suspected exposure ora confirmed case of COVID-19. The school nurses overseethe tracing and are the primary contacts for SCPH. Eachschool site has identified two individuals who havecompleted the Johns Hopkins training as well as Districttraining in contact tracing.

When investigating a COVID-19 case, the contact tracersdetermine:

1. When the individual was last in workplace, andwhere they traveled while on site;

Updated 11/19/21

34

2. Date of onset of symptoms;3. Date of testing and results;4. Identify who the individual had significant, close contact with and when;5. Contact the employee/student/family of any potential exposure;6. Offer testing at no cost during and after school hours;7. Investigate the reasons for the exposure and initiate any corrections;8. In writing, within 24 hours, notify all staff/families/contractors of the potential exposure on

campus;9. Post all positive cases on the Dashboard.

Natomas Unified has a COVID-19 response team. The COVID-19 Response Team consists ofstaff from Student Services (Health and Wellness), Maintenance and Operations, Supervisor ofSchools, Communications, site administration, Human Resources and nurses. Once the teamreceives contact tracing information from the nurses, the COVID-19 Response Team will meetor confer to ensure the following:

1. The Dashboard is updated;2. Person Bs (significant close contacts) are identified and contacted;3. Communication is sent to the appropriate individuals (eg: staff and families);4. Human Resources has provided information to the staff person (eg: use of sick leave (if

necessary), working from home, etc);5. Maintenance and Operations will identify all locations on site that the individual(s) has

traveled to ensure the workplace is disinfected as per protocol;6. The exposure and employee/student interactions will be discussed and any corrective

measures will be taken;7. Sacramento County Public Health will also be notified.

Close Contact DefinitionClose COVID-19 exposure means being within six feet of apositive COVID-19 case for a cumulative total of 15minutes or greater in any 24-hour period within oroverlapping with the high-risk exposure period. Thisapplies regardless of use of face coverings. High-riskexposure includes:

● For persons who develop COVID-19 symptoms:from two days before they first develop symptoms until 10days after symptoms first appeared, and 24 hours have

Updated 11/19/21

35

passed with no fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and symptoms haveimproved; or

● For persons who test positive who never develop COVID-19 symptoms: from two daysbefore until 10 days after the specimen for their first positive test for COVID-19 wascollected.

Quarantine Decision Form and Supporting Letters

Per the SCPH Supplemental Guidance, quarantine recommendations may vary based on theextent to which the District conducts contact tracing. Natomas has a robust testing, vaccinationand contact tracing program, and as a result, isolation, quarantine and modified quarantineprocesses are carefully adhered to and followed by all staff.

The most recent guidance from CDPH allows for modified quarantine. Modified quarantine isfor exposure in the school setting and is based on how well the students (both Person A andPerson B) were wearing their masks. The following Quarantine document determines whethera student is fully quarantined (10 days from date of test) or has the option of a modifiedquarantine.

In the event that an individual has been exposed to a person with a positive diagnosis ofCOVID, contact tracing will occur. During tracing, if the individual has been identified assomeone who has been in close contact with a Person A (within 6 feet for 15 minutes over a 24hour period), and everyone was appropriately wearing a face covering, the following Exposureform will be used to determine the degree of quarantine. The parent will need to select theoption most appropriate for the family and sign the form.

Appendix E: Q and A Vaccine RequirementsFor more information, see the NUSD COVID Safety Plan

On October 1, 2021, California became the first state to require the COVID vaccine as a part of themandated vaccines for school district staff and students. Below are frequently asked questions toassist staff and families with this new requirement. Additional information can be found at VaccineMandate, October 1, 2021.

Q: What is the new requirement?

A: Children must be vaccinated against the coronavirus to attend schools in person, starting theschool term after the vaccines have full approval from the FDA for the designated grade span (K-6and 7-12). School staff will also need to be vaccinated by the time the requirement applies to thefirst cohort.

Q: Does this apply to private schools as well?

A: Yes. All K-12 public and private schools in California will be covered by the mandate. This doesnot apply to preschool.

Q: What’s the deadline for getting my student vaccinated?

A. The exact date remains to be seen. But kids age 12 and up (the grades 7-12 cohort) could berequired to be vaccinated as early as January 1, 2022. The Pfizer vaccine already has full FDAapproval for ages 16 and older, and the company is seeking the same authorization for kids as youngas 12. All school staff are also required to be vaccinated at that time. Vaccine requirements foryounger children in kindergarten through 6th grade are likely months away.

Q: Aren’t teachers and administrators already required to be vaccinated?

A: Staff who are not vaccinated are required to test weekly. Once the FDA gives full approval to the7-12 grade span, this option will no longer be valid and staff will be required to be vaccinated unlessthey have a legitimate exemption on file with the District.

Q: Will my child be forbidden from going to school if she doesn’t get a shot?

A: Students who are not vaccinated will be permitted to enroll in independent study or home school,but they will not be allowed to attend class in person.

Q: Are there any exceptions?

Updated 11/19/21

52

A: Yes, there will be exceptions for medical reasons and personal and religious beliefs. A few yearsago, the state passed a law that said parents could no longer cite personal or religious beliefs as areason for not vaccinating their children against a range of diseases. Because the new COVID-19mandate is a new regulation — and not the result of legislation in Sacramento — the state has toallow for such exemptions. But if in the future state lawmakers decide to create a law adding aCOVID-19 vaccine to the list of required immunizations, those exemptions could go away. If youare interested in a medical or personal belief exemption, please complete the exemption form andtake it to your student’s school office, or scan and email to: immunization@natomasunified.org. Theform can also be mailed to: Natomas Unified School District, Attn: Student Services and Support,1901 Arena Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834
