HEALTH ANDLOCAL SAFETY PLAN

American Rescue Plan

2021-2022

Effective Date: June 30, 2021

Safe Return to School

The Auburn Career Center will continue to seek to provide in-person instruction for the 2021-2022 school year. We believe that in-person instruction for Career & Technical Education is critical to student achievement. We continue to monitor input from the CDC, Ohio Department of Health and local Health Departments to inform decisions. We encourage students, staff and visitors to wear a mask while in the school buildings. This document applies to High School and Adult programming.

Personal Safety

All students and staff are encouraged to continue to do self-health checks each morning prior to the school day. Do not come to school if you are sick. If you test positive for COVID-19 you must follow current notification protocols, including calling the Auburn Attendance Office at 440.358.8023.

Lake County General Health District and The Auburn Career Center rely on both parents and students taking personal responsibility for disclosing illness, quarantining/isolation as necessary, and notifying appropriate persons regarding symptoms that might arise.

•	Recommendations to Quarantine/Isolate Isolation Protocol (Symptomatic or a positive test)

If a student is experiencing symptoms that could be due to a COVID‐19 infection, the student should stay home from school and seek medical attention for possible COVID‐19 testing and directions for care.

If a student has tested positive for COVID-19 and is having symptoms, they should stay isolated from others for 5 days following onset of symptoms. After the 5th day, if the student is symptom free and/or improving, the student could return to school and normal activities as long as they continue to wear a mask around others for an additional 5 days.

If a student has no symptoms but has tested positive for COVID-19, they should isolate themselves from others for 5 days from the date of the positive test. After the 5th day, the student could return to school and normal activities as long as they continue to wear a mask around others for an additional 5 days.

If a student, who is asymptomatic AND has not been a close contact, tests positive with an at home rapid test that does not come with a tele‐health visit, we recommend reaching out to your doctor or other test providers to get an additional test prior to returning to school.
