Ken-Ton UFSD School Reopening Task Force:
The Ken-Ton UFSD School Re-Opening Task Force first convened in early July to establish the structures necessary to complete the work of planning for the 2020-21 school year. This group is composed of district administrators and leaders, school building principals, and parents, with several different sub-committees and school-based teams focusing on individual areas of district operations, building-level planning, and community engagement. School districts were asked to submit reopening plans to the state and post them online by July 31. Districts were required to prepare for three potential scenarios:
- A return to school in September with full face-to-face attendance and precautions to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff
- A fully remote and virtual learning environment
- A blended model, combining elements of the two
