Introduction
Bonneville School District successfully reopened schools for the entirety of the 2020-2021 school year
with an extensive plan that included four phases of restrictions following state and local health plan
requirements. With those requirements no longer in place, the following plan is based on what we
learned throughout the previous school year. While recognizing our fundamental responsibility to
ensure the safety of our students and staff, we also believe that it is in the best interest of our students
to keep our schools open and continue instruction and learning in as normal of manner as possible.
Based on what we experienced last year, we believe that this plan provides appropriate precautions to
protect the health and safety of staff and students. To that end, this plan will provide three phases of
response:

Green Phase (low school transmission):


● Normal operations with additional safety measures and encouraged prevention strategies

Yellow Phase (substantial school transmission):


● Normal operations with increased communication and prevention strategies, including
contact tracing for exposures at school

Red Phase (high school transmission):


● Required restrictions and prevention strategies including mandatory face coverings and
quarantine periods for individuals without current immunity

Guiding Principles

1. We will take reasonable and rational precautions to protect the health and safety of our staff
and students. Precautionary measures to protect students’ health must be balanced against
their potentially disruptive or obstructive impact on student learning.
2. We will collaborate with our local public health officials to make decisions in the face of a
global pandemic with community transmission.
3. We will use official health agency information to make decisions. Guidance from the CDC and
state public health will be reviewed in collaboration with our local health agency to identify
appropriate steps and to evaluate the viability and necessity of recommended strategies.
Information from non-official sources may provide additional insights; however, our decisions
will be based on information from official public health agencies. All other sources of
information will be carefully selected to ensure our decisions are based on research-based
evidence.
4. We believe that students learn best through direct instruction from highly effective and
affective teachers. We will continue to provide learning for students in-person unless we cannot
keep schools open due to operational barriers such as staff absenteeism. Teachers will be
provided with dedicated time for collaboration and students will be provided with time to
Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

receive additional help and support if they are struggling in their classes. To the extent practical,
teachers will strive to continue instruction and learning online for those students who are
quarantined due to COVID.

CDC Guidance for Opening Schools


The CDC issued updated guidance for K-12 schools effective July 9, 2021. This guidance states that
schools should consider the following variables to make decisions about implementing COVID-19
prevention strategies1:

● Level of community transmission of COVID-19.


● COVID-19 vaccination coverage in the community and among students, teachers, and staff.
● Use of a frequent SARS-CoV-2 screening testing program for students, teachers, and staff who
are not fully vaccinated. Testing provides an important layer of prevention, particularly in areas
with substantial to high community transmission levels.
● COVID-19 outbreaks or increasing trends in the school or surrounding community.
● Ages of children served by K-12 schools and the associated social and behavioral factors that
may affect risk of transmission and the feasibility of different prevention strategies.

Prevention Strategies

The CDC identified the following possible strategies for K-12 schools to mitigate the risk of outbreaks in
schools:

● Universal and correct wearing of masks Red phases only

● Modifying facilities to allow for physical distancing All phases


○ Including use of cohorts/podding

● Handwashing and respiratory etiquette All phases

● Cleaning and maintaining healthy facilities, including improving All phases


ventilation

● Diagnostic and screening testing Yellow and red phases

● Promoting vaccination All phases

● Appropriate accommodations for children with disabilities with All phases


respect to the health and safety policies

District 93 Three-Phase Plan


Green Phase: Normal operations with additional prevention strategies.

Low transmission (1 to 19 new cases in Bonneville School District within the past 7 days)

● All staff and students are strongly encouraged to monitor their personal health daily.
● Anyone with symptoms of an infectious disease should stay home and seek medical counsel
● Students and staff who test positive will be excluded from school until the EIPH determined date.
● Students and staff are encouraged (but not required) to receive the COVID vaccination.
● Face coverings are recommended, especially by those who are not vaccinated.
● Teachers should encourage good hygiene practices including handwashing and respiratory etiquette.
● Teachers should sanitize desks and common surfaces daily or whenever there is a change in students.
● Contact tracing won’t be conducted and families won’t be notified of exposure at school.
● No restrictions on student activities.

Yellow Phase: Additional prevention strategies and communication.

Substantial transmission (20 to 49 new cases in Bonneville School District within the past 7 days)

● All Green Phase strategies are required in the Yellow Phase.


● Teachers and staff will actively monitor students for symptoms using thermometers and physical cues.
● Non-immune staff and students with unexplained symptoms of COVID will be sent home.
○ May return with a negative COVID test
● Contact tracing will be conducted and families will be notified of exposure at school.
● Non-immune staff and students who have been exposed to COVID will be asked to voluntarily quarantine
for 7 days from exposure.
● Screening program may be implemented for exposed students and staff and extracurricular programs.
● Non-IHSAA activities will not be permitted without approval of the school principal.

Red Phase: Mandatory prevention strategies and communication.

High transmission (50 or more new cases in Bonneville School District within the past 7 days)

● All Green and Yellow Phase strategies are required in the Red Phase.
● All staff and students are required to stay home with symptoms of an infectious disease and seek medical
counsel or COVID test.
● Teachers and staff will actively monitor students for symptoms using thermometers and physical cues.
○ Non-immune staff and students with unexplained symptoms of COVID will be sent home but may
return with a negative COVID test.
● Face coverings will be required for all staff and students with necessary accommodations.
● Contact tracing will be conducted and families will be notified of exposure at school.
○ Exposed staff and students will be required to quarantine for 7 days, unless
■ They have current immunity from vaccination, recent infection, or antibody test, or
■ They were wearing appropriate face coverings during the time of exposure.
● COVID screening programs may be implemented.
● Non-IHSAA activities will not be permitted without approval of the District Safety Committee.
Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

Face Coverings
Bonneville School District mandated universal face coverings for staff and students from August 31st,
2020 through March 5th, 2021. On March 5th, following East Idaho Public Health lifting a face covering
mandate for Bonneville County, Bonneville School District suspended its face covering requirement.
The following chart shows how active cases in the school district continued to consistently decline even
after the face covering requirement was suspended in both the county and the school district. At the
same time, we recognize that new variants of the COVID-19 virus may be more likely to spread among
school-aged children. Based on those results and pursuant to current guidance from the CDC, the
expectations for face coverings will be as follows:

Low Recommendation that face coverings should be worn at school, especially by those
who are not vaccinated.

Substantial Face coverings are strongly encouraged and will be required for non-immune
students who exhibit COVID symptoms at school.

High Face coverings will be required for all staff and students with appropriate
accommodations for qualifying disabilities.

As we did in the 2020-2021 school year, staff and students with disabilities may request exemptions
from the face coverings requirement, pursuant to the information provided in the Non-discrimination
section of this plan.
Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

Diagnostic and Screening Testing


Bonneville School District 93 did not employ a diagnostic screening and testing program in the
2020-2021 school year. At this time, we do not believe that this is an essential strategy to maintain in
person learning. There were very few confirmed cases of student to student spread of COIVD 19 last
year. If we experience a significant increase in community transmission and see student to student
spread of COVID within our schools, then this will be a strategy that will be considered in the Yellow
and Red Phases of our reopening plan.

Screening and testing may be provided as an option to families instead of quarantining following
exposure at school.
Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

Vaccinations
Effective July 12, 2021, the CDC states the following regarding COVID vaccinations:

● Vaccination is currently the leading public health prevention strategy to end the COVID-19
pandemic.
● Achieving high levels of COVID-19 vaccination among eligible students as well as teachers, staff,
and household members is one of the most critical strategies to help schools safely resume full
operations.
● People who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are less likely to have an asymptomatic
infection or transmit COVID-19 to others than people who are not fully vaccinated.
● In most settings, people who are fully vaccinated can safely resume activities they did before
the pandemic.

In District 93, we experienced a dramatic decrease in our rate of active COVID cases following
vaccination clinics for employees in February of 2020. To help keep our staff and students safe, we
strongly encourage both employees and eligible students to get the COVID vaccine unless there are
specific medical, religious, or other reasons that prevent them from doing so2. Employees and families
should visit vaccines.gov to find out when and where they can receive a vaccine.

At the same time, we recognize the importance of individual choice and responsibility when making
decisions that affect one’s personal health. Bonneville School District 93 will not require any employees
or students to receive the vaccine. While Bonneville School District will also not assume the role of a
public health agency by making efforts to provide vaccinations to school communities, we will support
East Idaho Public Health’s efforts to do so by informing families of the importance of vaccines as well as
information regarding how to become vaccinated and providing use of our facilities as appropriate for
vaccination clinics if requested.

Pursuant to current CDC guidance3, if the District implements the Red Phase of this plan due to high
community transmission, individuals with immunity including those who have been vaccinated,will be
exempt from certain restrictions including wearing face coverings and being quarantined following
close contact with infected individuals.

2
Idaho Statute §39-4802 provides exemptions for state-required vaccinations.

Learning and Instruction


We believe that students learn best through direct instruction from highly effective and affective
teachers. We will continue to provide learning for students in-person unless we cannot keep schools
open due to operational barriers such as staff absenteeism. Providing teachers with sufficient time to
collaborate in teams has been an essential element of our promise to “Design success for every
student.” From 2011 - 2020, the District provided early release time on Wednesday afternoons for
teacher collaboration. In 2020, the DIstrict moved collaboration time to Mondays to not only provide
teachers with time to collaborate, but also to provide middle school and high school students with
additional time to receive help and support from teachers. In the 2021-2022 school year, we will
continue to follow a different schedule on Mondays to provide teachers with sufficient time to
collaborate and to provide necessary support for secondary students.
Elementary Schools
The first, third, and fifth Mondays of each month will be designated as non-instructional days for
students in 1st through 6th grades. To meet the state requirement for minimum hours of instruction,
kindergarten students will be provided with one-hour of at-home learning activities as directed by their
classroom teacher. The following Mondays are designated as non-school days for elementary students:

1st Trimester 2nd Trimester 3rd Trimester


Mon, Sep 20 Mon, Nov 29 Mon, Mar 7

Mon, Oct 18 Mon, Jan 3 Mon, Apr 18
Mon, Nov 1 Mon, Jan 31 Mon, May 2
Mon, Nov 15 Mon, Feb 7 Mon, May 16

Middle Schools and High Schools


Every Monday, from 8:40 am - 12:00 pm students will be provided with time for additional help and
support. All students will be expected to attend their classes on Monday mornings unless they have
been excused from in-person instruction by their classroom teacher. Students who are excused from
in-person instruction on Monday mornings will be provided with at-home extended learning activities
as directed by their classroom teacher. Teachers are encouraged to provide meaningful learning
activities that focus on developing readiness for college entrance exams, prepare students for advanced
opportunities, or develop students’ social emotional learning.
Students who are not excused from in-person instruction by their classroom teacher and who fail to
attend school on Monday mornings will be marked absent from school and are subject to the actions
and consequences of the Board Policies on student attendance:
● 3040 Compulsory Attendance
● 3050 Attendance
Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

Social and Emotional Learning and Support


Bonneville School District
recognizes the need to effectively
support students’ and employees’
social and emotional health. We
believe that helping all students
and staff to develop the essential
competencies that every student
and employee should develop “for
academic success, school and civic
engagement, health and wellness,
and fulfilling careers.” The
Collaborative for Academic, Social,
and Emotional Learning has
identified five key SEL
competencies that every student
and staff member should develop.

To that end, we have created an


Office of Social-Emotional
Learning and Support, headed by
Ken Marlowe, EdS, LCPC. Ken will
coordinate work with social
workers and counselors to
effectively support students’ social
and emotional needs. Ken will also
work with a team to develop comprehensive professional learning for teachers and students to
promote social and emotional learning across the district.

The District is developing an alert system to allow students to text, email, or scan a QR code to submit
help alerts that include help for suicidal ideations, bullying and harassment, and other challenges that
students may be facing. This system will alert school counselors and administrators of students’ needs.
The Office of Social-Emotional Learning and Support will also be working to develop a community
support and response system for students who are struggling with social, mental, and emotional
challenges.

The District also provides an employee assistance program to support employees who may be
struggling with a variety of challenges.

Nondiscrimination and Accommodations for Students with Disabilities


Bonneville Joint School District 93 does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or
age in its programs and activities and provides equal access to designated youth groups.

Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Bonneville School District will
not discriminate against students or employees with disabilities with respect to the health and safety
policies in this plan. Accommodations for students and employees with disabilities may be requested
for any provision of this plan. The multidisciplinary team will consider requested accommodations for
students and determine what accommodations can be provided. Employees should notify the Human
Resources Department to request accommodations for disabilities or other medical conditions that
may prevent them from complying with any provision of this plan.

The following individuals are designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies:

Heath Jackson, Executive Director of Planning and Personnel


[email protected]

Sexual Harassment / Title IX Coordinator / Section 504 Coordinator


Ken Marlowe, Director of Social-Emotional Learning and Support
[email protected]

Individuals with Disabilities in Education (IDEA / Special Education)

Revised: 07/29/2021 APPROVED FOR REVIEW

Facilities Modifications
Classrooms will be arranged to maximize physical distancing between students; however, it will not be
possible to always maintain three to six feet4 of distance between students during instruction. Teachers
will be asked to remove unnecessary furnishings and other large items to maximize the opportunity for
physical distancing. Additional modifications will be made to some facilities to improve distancing.

● Bonneville Online High School The Annex building at Rocky Mountain Middle School will be
renovated and repurposed for. Air conditioning units will be installed to improve air circulation.
This move will improve the physical distancing for both staff and students at BOHS.
● Federal Programs and Special Education The current BOHS building will be repurposed for
Federal Programs staff. Moving Federal Programs staff from their current location will provide
for more physical distancing for the Federal Programs staff and the Special Education staff.
● Black Canyon Middle School The opening of BCMS will decrease congestion at both Rocky
Mountain Middle School and Sandcreek Middle School and will significantly improve physical
distancing for middle school students, especially those in special education program classrooms.
● Falls Valley Elementary School
○ Additional playground equipment dedicated solely for the use of Special Education
preschool students will be installed to improve physical distancing and access to fresh air
for preschool students at Falls Valley.
○ Current HVAC units at Falls Valley that do not circulate air will be replaced with new
units that will circulate air to improve air quality and reduce the risk of air-borne
contagions for staff and students.
● Modular classrooms will be moved from high schools to several elementary schools to provide
extra classroom space and improve physical distancing in intervention and Special Education
programs and classrooms.

Appendix A: Assurances
The DIstrict sent multiple surveys to parents and employees in developing and revising its school
reopening plan for the 2020-2021 school year. This iteration of our reopening plan has been
significantly informed by the feedback that we received from those surveys.

The current version of the plan was developed collaboratively with the Board of Trustees, who are the
legally elected representatives of the residents of Bonneville School District. The plan was shared with
the presidency of the Bonneville Education Association, who legally represents certified employees,
District directors, including those responsible for special education, homeless, migrant, ELL, and Title 1
programs, as well as school principals.

This plan is adopted as the official policy of the Board of Trustees. Following initial approval by the
Board of Trustees, this plan will be sent to all employees and families of students to have the
opportunity to provide input on the plan. This plan will also be posted on the District’s website for the
duration of the 2021-2022 school year and patrons will have the opportunity to provide input on the
plan through public input at Board meetings or by contacting the School District through our website.
The plan will be reviewed monthly and revised as necessary at regularly scheduled Board meetings, as
we did in the previous school year. The Superintendent is authorized to enact temporary changes to
this plan that will be in effect until the Board has the opportunity to consider the changes at the next
regular or special meeting of the Board.

No additional technical assistance or support is needed to implement this plan, except for the state to
fulfill its obligations to provide adequate funding to fulfill its constitutional responsibility to provide a
uniform and thorough education for all Idaho students. At this time, our biggest concern is that the
state will withhold funding from schools under the pretense that schools have enough money from
federal support. We need the state to fully fund schools without withholding any dollars, including
continuing to fund schools based on full time enrollment, drawing down on PSEF instead of withholding
funds from schools, and using PSEF to ensure schools with growing enrollment are not penalized to
support Districts that may lose enrollment.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, all information in this plan is true and correct. This plan will be provided
in an alternate format accessible to individuals if requested. This plan and SDE checklist are publicly available on
the Bonneville Joint School District website: www.d93schools.org.
