At last night's school board meeting, the board approved several updates to North Tama's Return to Learn Plan. As part of this process, it was decided that North Tama's Jr./Sr. High School Building (grades 7-12) will return to 100% capacity this coming Monday, October 19.
In addition to the return to 100% capacity, the changes in this updated plan include recently-released state guidelines related to confidentiality, parent notification, and modified quarantine requirements based on whether the individual(s) in close contact were wearing a mask. The updated plan now includes a measure that may return the whole district or an individual building to the 50% capacity hybrid plan for a two-week period depending on the number of active positives within the building. Additionally, the document provides clarification and updates to several components of the district’s plan including the selection of a learning model, parent notification of positive cases, face covering requirements, and procedures that will be followed when students and staff exhibit possible symptoms of COVID-19.
Please keep in mind that additional guidance or directives from the state and our continually-changing local context may necessitate additions or changes to the district's plans. It continues to be North Tama’s goal to follow practices and offer models of learning that will both educate our students and keep our students and staff healthy and safe during the current global pandemic.
The updated Return to Learn Plan, approved by the North Tama Board of Education on 10/12/2020 can be viewed at this link the school website: Return To Learn Plan.
