2020-2021 School Year
Revised to include DOH Guidance as of 8/17/20
The World Health Organization has declared the current outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. On July 1, 2020, the PA Secretary of Health issued an Order requiring all individuals to wear a face covering when they leave their homes. On August 10, 2020, the Board of School Directors approved the Health and Safety Plan which included face covering for students. The DOH is requiring students wear face covering at all times while in school, even when six feet of social distancing can be achieved.
When worn properly, face covering helps reduce the spread of the coronavirus [COVID-19] by reducing droplet transmission between people. As a reminder, face coverings in conjunction with increased physical distancing, frequent hand washing, and our cleaning and disinfecting routines assists in mitigation of the spread of COVID-19.
Face covering means a covering of the nose and mouth that is secured to the head with ties, straps, or loops over the ears or is wrapped around the lower face. A face covering can be made of a variety of synthetic or natural fabrics, including cotton, silk, or linen, and, for the purposes of our Health and Safety Plan as well as the Governor’s Order, face covering is mandatory.
Guidance
If a faculty member has a compromised situation at home, a sign will be posted outside the classroom, and masks are mandatory at all times in that classroom.

EL Parent Guide & Girardat LP Guidelines
Phased District School Reopening Health and Safety Plan CCSD
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
How do we plan for an imperfect year? Well, the answer to that question is complex to say the least. What I can tell you is that it requires flexibility and patience.
We have been putting together our Health and Safety Plan (the “Plan”) in collaboration with Conneaut School District, PENNCREST School District and the Crawford County Career and Technical Center. The Plan was developed after hours of research and countless meetings with several other area entities, health professionals and county leadership.
Along with this letter, we are posting the following information:
A video will be released in the near future regarding the Plan. Also, during the next two weeks our goal is to set up building/community level Zoom meetings to further detail the Plan and allow for questions.
Again, an imperfect year requires flexibility and patience. Let’s work together on bringing our students back to school in the safest learning environment that we can provide.
Sincerely,
Thomas K. Washington, Superintendent of Schools
