KATC

quote:

Students will return to campus in groupings rather than all at once to allow school staff to better manage the influx of students and make necessary adjustments to protocols and procedures on campus to ensure a safe learning environment for all. Schools will continue to promote social distancing to the greatest extent possible and to maintain its ongoing health and safety protocols. This includes all current mitigation efforts, including wearing face masks, practicing social distancing, heightened hand hygiene, increased cleaning and disinfection and keeping children home when they are sick, according to LPSS officials.









Are any other public school districts full time in Louisiana?

My daughter is in private in BR and has been back full time since early August. I think they gave parents remote learning options but very few chose that.

Vermilion Parish will also transition back to full time KATC


quote:

"Starting on November 2 we are going to be bringing all of our hybrid students back to campus for every day education," he said.

If the numbers increase, and quarantines increase a lot, the system will be back to hybrid, he said. Also, all mask mandates and other mitigation measures will still be in place, he said. Also, parents who feel they want to stay virtual, they should reach out to their school to talk about it.



quote:

"I wish it was as easy as "come back and we're good to go." But we have transportation issues we're going to have to work through. We have cafeteria issues," he said. "By Thursday you should get a call from your school as to what is the plan. We are gong to be doing the same plan in school systems."

That means that schools that are tied together - the schools in Kaplan, for instance - are working together on their transition plans, he said.

They've been on an A/B schedule since the school year started.

I figure private schools could do it easier with smaller classes, but Teurlings already had to switch from full time to hybrid because of cases.

It's a fairly big private school - 1000-1300 students or something like that. No Rona issues that I've been made aware of.

They have 20+ kids per class in general.

One of the high schools in these parishes has like 300-400 students who have been sent home for 2 weeks for COVID issues. This doesn’t include the students who chose to stay home based virtual learning.

Livingston has been rolling along as well. The contact tracing seems to be kind of dumb but that’s been the worst part of it that I’ve seen. A few kids have had to go home because they sat near a kid that tested positive.

Full classrooms mean no social distancing, when kids go out to homecoming parties or just large gatherings on the weekends and contract it, test positive after spending a number of days in classrooms...because of no social distancing within the classroom, any student seated around that positive test then has to quarantine for 14 days. Then you get parents complaining to schools for not maintaining social distancing guidelines while in class...probably the same parents complaining about their kid not being in school.

Multiply the above times 50 for every day of the week for any given high school campus that is back to 100% traditional learning. This is of course assuming the school is following the reporting/contact tracing protocol
