BACK AT HOME AT HOME STANDS STARTS ♪
STARTS ♪ ON TUESDAY.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IT’S 12 MINUTES BEFORE 8 O’CLOCK FACING THE FALL OF CLAY COUNTY
STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASSES, WE
KNOW TOMORROW THE SCHOOL BOARD IS NOT REQUIRE MASKS IN SCHOOL OR ON BUSES AS WE LEARNED
SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROSKIE IS
JOINING US NOW ON THE PHONE
RIGHT NOW GOOD MORNING, THANKS
FOR BEING WITH US.
>> HEY GOOD MORNING GLAD TO
BE HERE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO AS WE KNOW
THE CDC RECOMMENDS MASKS FOR
KIDS IN CLASS. THE GOVERNOR HAS
MADE IT VERY CLEAR
SUPERINTENDENT THAT HE DOES NOT
WANT
TO MANDATE ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
GETTING COVID ISSUE START
SCHOOL TOMORROW. GIVEN THE FACT
THAT MASKS ARE NOT REQUIRED IN
CLAY COUNTY.
>> THAT’S TRUE IN CLAY COUNTY,
A MASTER RECOMMENDED
HIGHLY ENCOURAGED IN OUR SMART
RESTART PLAN, BUT I WOULD
ALSO ADD MANY MITIGATION
STRATEGIES ARE IN PLACE IN
ORDER TO KEEP OUR
STUDENTS SAFE. EVERYTHING FROM
INDIVIDUALIZED
SCHOOL PLAN ALIGNED WITH THEIR
UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH
SCHOOL SITE. MONITOR CAMPUS
MAXIMIZING CAFETERIA SPACE
FREE SCREENING OF STUDENTS
ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYERS AND THE
LIST GOES ON AND ON READ YOUR
VERY BEST. WE’RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO
GETTING BACK.
>> I KNOW THE KIDS ARE PROBABLY
VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE IS
SEEING THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND
THE PARENTS ARE EXCITED TO FIND
A WAY TO HAVE THEIR STUDENTS GO
BACK I’M SURE THEY ARE GETTING
A LITTLE MORE FREE TIME MAYBE
DURING THE DAY IF THEY STAY
HOME IN THE MEANTIME, LET’S
TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT PARENTS AND THE
STUDENTS CAN EXPECT WHEN THE
KIDS HEAD BACK TO CLASS
TOMORROW
FOR EXAMPLE WILL THERE BE IT
WILL GET CAN YOU EXPLAIN SOME
OF THE PPE THAT WILL BE
AVAILABLE IF ANY ARE THERE
GOING TO BE ANY BARRIERS ON
DESK THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
>> NO
BERRIES OR DEATH. WE BASICALLY
HAVE MANY OF THE MITIGATION
STRATEGIES THAT WE HAD LAST
YEAR THE ONLY
NOTABLE CHANGE IS THE FACT THAT
THE RECOMMENDED HIGHLY
ENCOURAGED. BUT NOT MANDATED.
FACE COVERINGS SO WE WILL HAVE
TO BE.
BUT DON’T HAVE ONE IN THEIR
POSSESSION. WE’LL HAVE THOSE
FOR STUDENTS. BUT WE’VE NEVER
HAD THE DESK LAST YEAR OR
THIS YEAR. >>LAUREN VERNO: AND LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT IF WE COULD ABOUT
BUSING TO ON I KNOW THAT THAT’S
ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY THEN THAT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS RECEIVE IS JUST WHERE THEIR KIDS NEED TO BE SETTING
THAT PART ASIDE
WHEN KIDS GET ON TO THE BUS
WILL THEY BE SOCIALLY DISTANCE
HOW CALM HOW OFTEN WILL THE
BUSES BE CLEANED THOSE KINDS OF
INFORMATION.
>> YOU KNOW FIRST OF ALL LET
ME THAT THERE’S A HOTLINE FOR
PARENTS RELATED TO
TRANSPORTATION SO
TRANSPORTATION QUESTION THE
HOTLINE IS 9 ’04, 3, 3, PICK.
THEY ROSE 0, 0, 1, WE’LL HAVE A
TEAM
OF PROFESSIONALS THERE TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS BECAUSE QUITE
OFTEN THE QUESTION FIRST DAY
ARE.
THE TIME AT THE AT THE BUS STOP
WHEN THEIR STUDENTS GOING TO BE
BACK ETCETERA ETCETERA. AS FAR
AS TRANSPORTATION FELT ON THAT
ON EACH DAY.
WE’RE GOING TO CLEAN THOSE
BUSES WITH AN ELECTROSTATIC
SPRAYER AFTER EACH AND EVERY
RUN.
IT WILL BE
THE SANITIZER AVAILABLE FOR
STUDENTS STUDENTS WILL BE
SPREAD OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
DURING THEIR RIDE.
AND WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
TRANSPORTING THEM SAFELY TO
SCHOOL AND GETTING THE SCHOOL
YEAR STARTED.
>> AND THEY’LL BE AT FULL
CAPACITY, CORRECT.
>> SOME BUSES WILL OF COURSE
HAVE MORE STUDENTS THE OTHER
DEPENDING ON THE ROUTE. THAT
THAT THEY HAVE BUT YES. A
FULL CAPACITY. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: ARE YOU CONCERNED AND WHAT KIND OF
FEEDBACK HAVE YOU RECEIVED FROM
TEACHERS ARE ARE SOME OF THEM
AFRAID TO COME BACK WORRIED
ABOUT THEIR HEALTH IF THEY ARE
HIGH RISK.
>> WHAT YOU KNOW ONE THING I
WOULD POINT OUT IS THAT
EVERYONE AT AVAILABILITY TO
RECEIVE THE VACCINE, ANYBODY
12 OR OLDER. AND AS A
RESULT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW
EVERYBODY’S CONCERNED AND
RIGHTFULLY SO WE SHOULD TAKE
EVERY PRECAUTION THAT WE HAVE
IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
OF EVERYONE BOTH STUDENTS AND
TEACHERS AND THAT’S WHAT WE
PLAN
TO DO.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO DO YOU
HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS I KNOW
THAT SOMETIMES THERE ARE
VACANCIES LEADING INTO THE NEW
YEAR OF YOU GOT ANY FINAL
FIGURES.
>> YEAH WE HAVE A 24.
INSTRUCTIONAL POSITIONS THAT
ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW. AND IT’S
PRETTY TYPICAL AND LOWER THAN
THE NUMBER IN IN
MANY DISTRICTS, OUR SIZE WITHIN
THE STATE.
NO NEED TO TELL YOU THERE’S 2
CAN SHORTAGE NATIONWIDE AND SO
WE’RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GREAT
TEACHERS TO WORK WITH OUR
>> IN CLAY COUNTY DISTRICT
SCHOOLS AND SUPERINTENDENT
FINAL QUESTION IF THERE IS AN
OUTBREAK AT WHAT POINT DO YOU
DECIDE THAT YOU NEED TO YOU
KNOW CLOSE TO SCHOOL FOR
CLEANING AND ARE THERE ANY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS WHO
MIGHT HAVE
TO QUARANTINE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: TO LEARN YOU
KNOW ONLINE OR VIRTUALLY
WITHOUT HAVING TO DO VIRTUAL
ALL YEAR.
>> SO REALLY THERE’S TO
QUESTION THEIR ONE IS THAT THE
STUDENTS QUARANTINED YOU KNOW
AT A THEY CONTINUE ON WITH
THEIR OWN SCHOOL WORK WE HAVE
GOOGLE CLASSROOM IS THE
PLATFORM THAT
WE USE WHICH STORES ALL OF THAT
WORK FOR STUDENTS AND ALLOWS
THE STUDENT TO CONTINUE THEIR
EDUCATION EVEN WHEN QUARANTINE.
AS
FAR AS THE FIRST QUESTION WAS.
YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT IF THERE’S AN OUTBREAK YOU KNOW IN CLAY COUNTY WERE REALLY BLESSED TO
HAVE A GREAT WORKING
RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEALTH
DEPARTMENT. AND WILL
WORK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO
DECIDE THAT WOULD OCCUR.
YOU KNOW LAST YEAR WE WERE VERY
SUCCESSFUL. I YOU KNOW PUTTING
SCHOOLS DESPITE ALL OF
THE CIRCUMSTANCES. >> AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR. WELL WE WISH
YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK WE
