COVID Health & Safety Plan

COVID-19 Health & Safety Plan

Overview

If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19 they must stay home and report that to their school office or supervisor.  The school office/supervisor must report the case to CovidReport@scusd.edu for contact tracing. A school nurse will reach out to them and advise them on when to return to school/work.

Current CDPH guidance recommends a multi-layer strategy used to manage COVID-19 and serves as a general prevention framework to reduce the spread of multiple types of infections, including COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and norovirus.  Strategies are guided by the principle that safe, in-person learning, and care are critical to the well-being and development of children. SCUSD aligns our practices with Sacramento County Public Health (SCPH) and California Department of Health (CDPH) guidance which is based on current scientific knowledge and anticipated trends. SCUSD will remain flexible in responding to changing public health conditions.  We will revise our plans as needed in accordance with the most current orders or guidance provided by SCPH and CDPH.

Many of the strategies used to address COVID-19 can protect school communities from other diseases and support healthy learning environments. We remain committed to doing all we can to support the health, safety and well-being of our schools and surrounding communities.
