It is the policy of the Youth Policy Institute Charter Schools, Inc. (“YPICS” or the “Charter School”) to take all reasonable measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) among students and staff. YPICS is temporarily implementing health and safety measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, to be used when the Charter School is allowed to resume in-person instruction. This policy recognizes that these measures are each designed to provide some protection against COVID-19. While there may be times when one measure may not be feasible, implementing the other measures can make up for the absence of another. This Policy includes both mandatory measures (using terms “shall” or “will”) as well as recommended measures intended to guide decisions in light of practical limitations.
