907 - District Operation During Public Emergencies

DISTRICT OPERATION DURING PUBLIC EMERGENCIES                                                       Code No. 907

The district believes that student learning is the heart of its core mission.  While traditional in-person teaching continues to provide the greatest learning opportunity to all students, there may be rare and unusual circumstances that prevent the school community from convening in traditional in-person settings.  At times of public emergency declared by federal, state, or local officials, the district will see guidance and recommendations from federal, state and local agencies to assist in determining the safety of convening traditional in-person learning.

If, due to the public emergency, the school board determines that holding traditional in-person learning at district facilities would hinder the health and safety of the school community the district will instead utilize remote or hybrid learning opportunities as permitted by law.

Following guidance and recommendations from federal, state, and local agencies when reasonably possible, the administration will create regulations related to district operations during a public emergency, including, but not limited to, student, employee and visitor safety and security; the use and safeguarding of district property; public meetings and events, when applicable, measures to prevent or slow the spread of infectious disease.

These measures will be enforced for the period of time of the public emergency, or until the Colo-NESCO school board and superintendent, in consultation with federal, state and local agencies to determine it is appropriate for safety measures to end.
