Newark temporarily closed a summer school site beyond this month after an employee tested positive for coronavirus, parents and a union official.
The employee works at First Avenue School, one of two pilot sites where the Newark School District is implementing new defense measures, as he resumes face-to-face learning with his best friend four months after the study rooms closed the rustic area due to the pandemic.
But the incident appears to have revealed an opening in those protocols: the employee can start running in the summer program before receiving the result of her COVID-1 test, according to the Newark Teachers Union. She tested positive after running into the design on July 6, the first day of summer college, the union said.
The school closed for disinfection the next day. A review of surveillance footage at the school showed that the employee had not interacted with a great instructor or student, the union said. Once the design was erased and the families and staff were informed of the incident, the site reopened the similar week, parents and the union said.
Abeigon stated that the school painter on First Avenue had passed the check no less than a week before running in the summer program, but that a delay in the check site delayed its effects. From now on, staff allowed paintings in reopened schools until their verification effects are negative, he said.
“The fitness and advocacy of all our academics and staff are now the top logical priority,” said Superintendent Roger Leon last week, adding that the assumption behind summer school sites in users was “to start small, compare and monitor it.” ” “before reopening district study rooms in September.
On Monday, several parents and elementary staff at Avenue School said they were confident in the district’s security measures, based on state guidelines. They added that the district responded temporarily and when the employee tested positive for the virus.
“They were all given quickly,” said Bionett Roman, whose third-year student participates in the program. “If they continue to take security measures, I think that’s a good thing.”
Karen, the mother of a fourth-grader at the site who refused to give her last name, said she was not alarmed by the closure of transitority, which can also take up position when other Americans return to school.
“This will take position even assuming schools open in September,” he said. “You may need to approach schools again.”
But other parents and teachers in Newark expressed concern or anger at the station when the district began reopening schools. Dozens of other Americans who responded to a Chalkbeat poll on a return to pandemic elegance said they believed it was too complicated and that it would be difficult for schools to implement the vigorous defense measures, which come with the demand for academics to wear masks and 6 feet away. .
The transitional transit of First Avenue School “made everyone think,” said an educator from another school who asked to remain anonymous to evade retaliation. While someone had not been expected to test positive for the virus, he was most concerned that the district would not provide information about the incident to staff at other schools.
“Teachers haven’t heard anything official: it’s not all official that we’ve been heard through colleagues,” he said. “It’s different than there’s been a statement: “That’s what happened, this is what we did, so we may be able to win it back.”
The educator said she sought to dominate more of the district about how she will focus on similar conditions in September if thousands of other academics and staff return to schools. You may also be waiting to determine if teachers will request paintings remotely this fall, which you hope to do because you are helping to care for your father, who has cancer and is in danger of becoming seriously ill with COVID-19.
“I hope I don’t get my job,” she says. “But the fitness of my circle of relatives is more critical than a great apple job.”
