Begin 2020-21 School Year in the Remote Model of the Flexible Framework
Initiate Remote Model at least through first 9 nine weeks• Could then move to either Hybrid, Leveled or Traditional Models or stay in
Remote Model based on metricsMetrics
• State & Federal Guidance and Phases• COVID-19 Local Conditions• Staffing Implications• Evaluate metrics every other week
Identify natural opportunities to move within Framework• Quarter/Semester Dates• First Monday of a Month• Return from Breaks/Holidays
