PHOENIX — Arizona’s public school students won’t be going back to school until at least Friday, April 10, 2020. Gov. Doug Ducey and Superintendent Kathy Hoffman announced the extended school closures on Friday.
In their letter, Ducey and Hoffman requested that schools adhere to the following measures:
-
School administrators should make every effort to provide continued education learning opportunities through online resources or materials that can be sent home.
-
School administrators should work with the Arizona Department of Education to provide breakfast and lunch services for Arizona students.
-
As demand rises on healthcare professionals and first responders, schools should consider expanding child care programs currently available to ensure minimal disruption to these critical jobs as a result of the school closure.
-
When school resumes, school administrators should develop and implement precautions to ensure schools are a safe learning environment, including social distancing measures, regular intervals for administrators to wash and sanitize their hands, and guidance on how to properly and frequently sanitize election equipment and common surfaces.
And if you think you may have #COVID19, call your healthcare provider. They will provide helpful next steps. View daily Arizona updates here: https://t.co/QxWMy0K4cD 4/4
