COVID Health & Safety Plan
Like school districts across the country, Highline Public Schools received funding through the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Recovery Act (ESSER) to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic.
As ESSER 3 recipients, we are pleased to share our “Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan," also known as a Health and Safety Plan.
This plan addresses how Highline Public Schools will use ESSER funding to maintain the health and safety of students, families, and staff upon returning to in-person learning for the 2021-22 school year. Certain sections of this plan can serve as guidelines, of which each individual school will develop more detailed school safety plans applicable to each individual building's unique needs.
Safety Measures
- Masks
- Physical distancing
- Handwashing and respiratory etiquette
- Cleaning and maintaining healthy facilities, including ventilation
- Contact tracing, isolation and quarantine
- Vaccinations in School Communities
