@deltasd37 just finished reading district.public.deltasd.bc.ca/wp-content/upl…. This isn’t a plan, it’s a word salad with assurances and assertions about safety. That is not what a plan looks like. This is what a plan looks like 1/ #bced #bcpoli #covid
If more than one student in a class tests positive or is epi-linked to a positive case for COVID, the class will be sent home for two weeks, every family in the school will be notified, all the classrooms anyone in that class went in will be sterilized by a deep cleaning. 2/
If more than two classes have a detected or epi-linked case, then the entire school will be shut down for two days for disinfecting and cleaning. /3
If more than a quarter or more classes (rounded down, not up) have at least one positive case the school will be flagged as having an outbreak. This will be communicated to every family in the school. It will also be announced by a press release no more than 24 hours later /4
Unless it’s a Friday and then it will be on the following school day.
All doors and windows will remain open until the outdoor temperature is below 5C as measured by a thermometer placed outside the main entrance door in order to maximize air exchange. /5

The school district will measure air flow rates in every classroom in every school and any classrooms which do not meet established standards will be brought up to standard within 2 weeks /6
This is not a complete plan, obviously, but this is what a plan looks like: what are the conditions which will lead to closing a class, closing a grade, closing a school, closing a district. What will be the conditions to be met for re-opening? How will this be communicated? /7
It’s pretty ridiculous that anyone can call this a plan. This is the “hopes and prayers” version of a plan. This is a plan that would get lambasted at Amazon as being grossly insufficient. This is a plan that will lead to unnecessary suffering. This plan is filled with /8
