Agenda Item 5.01 – COVID-19 Update and the Clark County School District response
The Clark County School District (CCSD) Board of School Trustees received an update on CCSD’s COVID-19 response plan and Phase I reopening approach.
The Phase I Reopening plan focuses on protecting the health and safety of employees and students, while slowly completing the tasks required for the long-term operation of our buildings.
General overview for Phase I includes:
-
All CCSD Facilities and buildings will remain closed to the general public in Phase I.
-
All schools will remain closed for students for the remainder of 2019-20 school year.
Trustees were presented with information on the numbers of meals served to students. Meal distribution continues to serve on average over 30,000 students per day at CCSD’s Food Distribution sites. CCSD will continue meal service at the current sites through June 30, 2020, or until expiration of the federally declared public health emergency, whichever comes first.
Trustees were also provided with an update on the efforts to provide technology to students without access at home. The report shows that as of April 20, more than 85,300 Chromebooks have been distributed to CCSD students.
