Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Public School Board Monday, reviewed the instructional plan.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Lech  reported, that the instructional team has  met recently, to review data and trends to make an instructional plan decision.

It said, “The team fully recognizes that there will never be consensus amongst all stakeholders related to the selection of instructional plans. It is important to note, however, that the team had a great debate around both staying in Instructional Plan 2 (K-5 full face-to-face and hybrid in 6-12) and moving to Instructional Plan 1 (K-12 full face-to-face) ultimately created a staggered approach.”

With Instructional Plan 2 there is the  the possibility of exemptions for some instances of quarantine, there is a lesser likelihood of larger groups of staff and students going into quarantine.

The plan does not eliminate close contacts, but rather simply allows for an exemption to quarantine in schools for students and staff if close contact investigation, the administrator would need to determine close contacts, which includes those that are exempt.

Dr. Lech says instructional plan meetings will be held  every other week and review data to continue making instructional plans, again this week.
