WILSON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT PATH TO REOPENING 2020 Health and Safety Plan Presentation
Proposed 2020 Health and Safety Plan PATH TO REOPENING 1. Wilson Area School District’s Health and Safety Plan outlines our School District's instructional and non-instructional school reopening activities for the 2020-2021 school year. 2. The District will seek approval of the plan on Thursday, August 20, 2020. 3. Anticipated launch date for in-person learning is Monday, August 31, 2020. 4. The Wilson Area School District original plan was to reopen for all students and staff, with some students/families opting for full-time online learning out of safety/health concerns. 5. On Monday, August 10, 2020, the Departments of Health and Education provided recommendations to Pre-K to 12 schools for use when making decisions related to the instructional models used during the 2020-21 school year. 6. Following the health experts’ recommendations, the plan was changed to reopen following a hybrid model for in-person learning and full-time online learning for students/families with safety/health concerns.
