Navigating Change: Kansas' Guide to Learning and School Safety Operations
Kansas State Department of Education
This guidance document was created to help support schools as they begin to formulate their plans for re-entry into the 2020-2021 school year. The purpose of this document is not to prescribe what schools should do, but rather what considerations and discussions should happen in schools as they plan to support their students and communities as they navigate the uncharted waters of providing a quality education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidelines are written in a manner that can be useful across the district, but adaptable to a district's specific circumstances. Throughout this document there are three learning environments that are referenced: (1) On-site Learning Environment: students and teachers will be in school with or without social distancing practices put into place; (2) Hybrid Learning Environment: students would be spending part of their time in the classroom and part of their time learning remotely from home; and (3) Remote Learning Environment: students would be doing all of their learning from home and not entering the school building at all.
