Reviewed By: Cabinet

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Kansas Commissioner of Education, Dr. Randy Watson, assembled a task force in May to develop comprehensive guidance for safely reopening schools and for ensuring the accountability of academic and assessment rigor for all students in the event school is interrupted. The group was divided into two teams, operations and academic, considerations for each will provide the guidance for districts across Kansas to deal with our Covid‐19 situation. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: Thursday, July 9th, a rough draft of the guidance was shared with superintendents across Kansas. The State Board of Education released the final copy on July 16 to be available for implementation. Since then, Governor Kelly has released two Executive Orders of which one is to be voted on by the KSBE to determine if the start of school will be delayed or left to local districts to decide. The other order, 20‐59, sets health and personal safety measures that may be ruled on by each County Commission. This information, along with our plan, to be introduced by Shawn Lampe, Director of Safety and Security, and the other members of the contingency developing this framework, will present to you what has been developed to date. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to participate in the information provided as the district plans to work with the guidance provided by KSDE to start school back in August with regard to the impact and application for Dodge City Public Schools.

2020-21 Dual Instructional Delivery Model

July 16, 2020

The school district is preparing for two primary instructional delivery formats that will run parallel to each other

and a third option should additional COVID restrictions be enacted. The mission of USD 443 Dodge City is to

provide educational equity through access for all students to the same instruction regardless of setting and do so

in a safe learning environment.

Delivery formats for 2020-2021:

Face to Face: over the past two years the district has undertaken the task of systematically aligning curriculum

with state standards and to focus on research based literacy instructional practices across all content areas. This

will be the primary mode of delivery for the majority of our students.

Remote Live Learning (RLL) platform will parallel what is taking place in the classroom with appropriate

modifications. RLL is not a virtual self-paced learning platform, rather it parallels the structure of a traditional face

to face platform as closely as possible but remotely. Most critical is the daily adult to student contact, direct

instruction, EL supports and interventions provided remotely. Key components of RLL that will be further defined

and developed including the following:

Google Classroom will be the Learning Management System (LMS) district wide for both delivery

platforms.

RLL students will follow the same structured day as counterparts in face to face settings.

RLL teachers will be assigned students from across the district by grade level and/or content area.

Parents would have to choose to “opt into” the RLL.

RLLs would be for one quarter of the school year (9 weeks). At the end of each quarter parents would

have to opt in for the next quarter or transition back to the face to face instruction.

Students without internet activity will be provided the equipment to connect to the internet and would

have to sign the Acceptable Use document thus agreeing to terms and conditions of use.

Students would be required to physically report to a district location (TBD) for all assessments such as

FastBridge, KELPA, KAP, etc.

Parents would receive information outlining the process and their roles in providing a supportive learning

environment during the regular “school hours”.

Transition to Hybrid/Virtual: once the RLL is designed, internet connectivity is established, staff have been trained

in Google Classroom and all students have access to internet connectivity, the district will be able to pivot to

hybrid and/or virtual settings in a much more seamless manner.

4 Necessary Components:

1. Google Classroom as the PreK-12 Learning Management System (LMS)

2. Internet Access for all students (Ray)

3. Student Devices for all students in the RLL setting

4. RLL Teachers: need to identify who and provide support and training

Date: July 27, 2020

Subject: Academic Calendar

Initiated By: Dr. Dierksen

Attachments: None

Reviewed By: Cabinet

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After the “Navigating Change 2020” document was released by the Kansas State Department of Education the Governor announced she would issue an executive order to delay the start of school until September 9th across Kansas. This was rejected by the State Board in accordance with the new law requiring approval before the Governor has authority to close schools by a tie vote of 5-5. In essence, this put each district back to their original plans unless they had made revisions to that end. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: There are some that have expressed a desire for schools to reopen as soon as they can and others who feel the schools need more time and want them to remain closed. It is imperative to try and establish our start date to firm up calendars and necessary scheduling as needed. It must be pointed out that this is subject to change. The rapid quantity of information and conflict from day to day, if not hour to hour, is unprecedented and continues to create a changing educational environment with little notice. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to participate in discussion following information provided as the district tries to set plans to start back school at the approved calendar date (August 20th) or another date derived through the Board discussion. The discussion will lead this motion. At the current time, recommendation would be to follow the current calendar that has been developed and is what parents have been anticipating for school to start. Any subsequent change will require a formal Board motion.

Initiated By: Ray Wipf and Scott Springston

Attachments: If available, quotes will be shared at the meeting on Monday.

Reviewed By: Administrative Cabinet

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Covid-19 pandemic requires the district alternatives to making sure all students have an equal educational opportunity. Many families do not have internet access readily available at home. CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS: In order to ensure equity we must ensure access to educational structures for all students. It is fundamental and essential that students learning in a remote setting have internet connectivity in order to ensure equity in the education. Due to this we will need to provide a hotspot to students who do not have internet access. We would provide the equipment as needed. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The estimated cost to get started with hotspots for students is approximately $100,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education is respectfully requested to receive information in regards to internet hotspots for students who are in need.
