Ms. Griego: Feels strongly about having kids on campus. More planning time was needed. 50% of students wanted to be on campus. 1 student was an ELL. Students were disappointed. SEL days would be very valuable. 
Mrs. Minter: 50% in section 60 wanted to come to campus. They loved the drive-thrus. Agrees that there need to be some in-person contact keeping safety in mind for kids and staff.   

Ms. Ruggiero: Attorney with YMC. Recent guidance from CA Dep Health and County. Allows cohorts of groups of students on campus. ELLs, SWDs, homeless students as well as students not participating in online learning.

In terms of in-person support services for students. Virtual services in-campus.

Dr. Marsh: The limit for JJMS is 10% which is 42 kids on one day. 
Ms. Smith: Introduced labor and employment attorney 
Ms. Pierman: We are going to do our best. Best on our safety protocols. JJMS is going above and beyond compared to other charter schools. JJMS is on the right path for reopening.  K-12 is part of the critical infrastructure sector. All employees in schools are essential workers. Yes. We can bring everyone back. We have been cleared to provide assessment and in-person services. Is it necessary for the operations of the schools to bring back staff? Technically yes. 
Dr. Marsh: Providing cohorts calls to divide students into small groups. We would need to 2 adults to be able to supervise the small cohorts. If it is necessary for the cohorts.
Ms. Pierman: Soft opening may not be right at this time. Yes. It would be essential to have the majority of the students. 
Dr. Marsh: Having two adults will help us comply with the labor laws. 
Ms. Pierman: Yes. Having two qualified adults. 
Dr. Marsh: This applies to paraprofessionals.

Dr. Marsh: Addressed alternating mask colors when kids can fully return. 
Ms. Griego: Students who are SWDs and ELLs , which teachers would need to come. 
Dr. Marsh: We cannot limit to RSP teachers at it will violate the FAPE description of each student's IEPs and it would be a special day.  Staff who are essential workers would include at minimum the credential teacher and the paraprofessional. There are other classified staff that needs to work from campus. 
Mrs. Minter: Is the criteria outlined for students that do not have an IEP or ELL in this plan?
Dr. Marsh: We have elected lead teachers to work together to establish a very specific rubric what do we mean by struggling. 
Mr. Beirman: Mrs. Lara how do you gauge the temperature
Ms. Ayala: Feelings of teachers. The opinion is that things felt very rushed. Last-minute communication. It's not that staff members don't want to come to campus. We had invited everyone, yet we need to have a rubric. Appreciates that admin is listening and sharing information about safety protocols. Communication has improved a lot. 
Mr. Pineda: We don't have a precise number at the moment of how teachers may be feeling. But feels better as an opportunity has been created to create a rubric. 
Mr. Bierman: 
Mrs. Minter: My concern was more for my colleagues who may be immunocompromised. We had a co-worker that resigned and it was very difficult. Making sure our adult community is taken care of. The mood is better than it was last week.  However, I noticed that staff members are still very nervous that the protocols will be implemented to the extent they are outlined. 
Ms. Ayala: The mood is better as Mrs.Minter has stated I think the lack of communication with protocols and expectations made staff more nervous but the meetings gave the staff members an opportunity to share
Ms. Greigo: I agree, the mood has definitely improved because we were able to be open and honest with our questions.  
Mrs. Green: I agree we didn’t get the opportunity to explain and elaborate the safety protocols prior to last weeks Board Meeting
Ms. Farrior: How are protocols currently being delineated and communicated?
Dr. Marsh: We will be sharing the protocols with all staff tomorrow. 
Mrs. Lara: We will welcome feedback to improve our plan. 
Ms. Pierman: We have to follow the law and not make exceptions as they may expose the organization to lawsuits.
