Chicago Public Schools released a tentative coronavirus reopening plan Friday that would have most children physically in the classroom just two days a week. The district announced its so-called hybrid learning plan in a series of tweets Friday afternoon. A day in the life of a Chicago Public Schools student will look and feel different in the 2020-21 school year, the district explained. But our commitment to keeping communities safe and healthy will not change. In-school time would be divvied up on either the first two or last two days of the school week. Wednesdays would be remote-learning days for all students. The other two days would be dedicated to learning at home independently. Students would be assigned to pods when physically in their school buildings groups of 15 students who would learn and attend classes together while remaining isolated from others to minimize exposure. Teams of teachers would be assigned to specific pods for the duration of the school year. But the Chicago Teachers Union pointed out that most schools have only a single art teacher and someone in such a position would face maximum exposure. The risk is that the teacher who works with every student in the building becomes the vector, not to mention the actual risk to that teacher, the union wrote on Twitter. We see no plan to address this shortcoming in the pod system, and no stated intention to hire extra teachers. In-school lunches would be set up to follow a staggered schedule to minimize the number of people in the cafeteria at a given time and the room itself would be disinfected between each use. The proposal would also require students and teachers to wear masks at all times. Before leaving their homes, students would have to take part in an online screening for coronavirus symptoms.
