COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS

• Everyone entering Gompers must have a temperature check and a daily health check. • Everyone in the school MUST wear a mask. NO EXCEPTIONS!! • All school personnel have been tested For additional information, including FAQs on Exceptional Student Education, Athletics, Building Safety and more, please visit, detroitk 12. org/returntoschool. and cleared to work by DPSCD. • All seats in our classrooms and learning centers have been socially distanced. • All classrooms have been supplied with personal protection gear, sanitizer and cleaning supplies.

SMART SAFETY MEASURES For students and staff learning in our buildings, we will implement safety measures. DPSCD was allocated $85 million in CARES Act funding to implement COVID-19 safety measures to ensure the health and wellness of students, teachers and staff. To date, the district’s board has approved $25 million in spending for personal protective equipment, temperature stations, cleaning supplies and classroom safety items. We have also increased the frequency of custodial services to include daily cleaning and sanitization. School safety measures include, but are not limited to: • • • COVID-19 testing for employees Training on healthy hygiene practices for students and staff Daily temperature and self-symptom checks for employees and students Required use of masks; reusable masks will be provided to all students and staff Expansion of nursing services in every school Hand sanitizer in each classroom and regular restocking of soap in bathrooms. 12

SMART SAFETY MEASURES CONTINUED Daily Deep Cleaning Classrooms, offices and shared spaces will be cleaned daily with EPArecommended disinfecting products. All spaces have a posted cleaning log. Custodial staff will complete the log daily showing that a specific room/area has been cleaned (high-touch hard surfaces disinfected). All buildings and busses cleaned and disinfected prior to staff and students returning. COVID Testing Before returning to work, all employees need a negative viral Covid-19 test. While students were tested for Summer School, student testing is not required for the fall. If a student or family member has symptoms, you can be tested without a prescription at the City of Detroit drivethrough testing sites. All tests require an appointment. To schedule a test, call 313 -230 -0505. Visit www. michigan. gov/coronavirus for other testing sites near you, including those that do not require insurance. Monitoring and Accountability As the District implements safety guidelines, a team of 4 people will monitor safety daily in schools and complete daily compliance reports. Parents can email info. reopen@detroitk 12. or g or call 313 -578 -7018 to report concerns. The District will respond within 24 hours. 13

RESPONSE TO CONFIRMED CASES DPSCD is working closely with the Detroit Health Department and state authorities through this pandemic, including on a response plan in the case that a positive case is confirmed. This includes: • Proactive communication about confirmed cases once information is confirmed with public health officials • Buildings and offices closed for disinfecting before students and staff return • Students continue to engage in regular instruction online with regular assignments, attendance, and grades • Employees infected with COVID-19 have an unlimited paid sick bank to cover their days out of school due to the infection 14
