Safety and Health Guidelines for Teaching and Learning
The Division of Academics aims to provide safety and health guidelines for teaching and learning
during the Covid-19 pandemic affecting M-DCPS during the 2020-2021 school year.
These recommendations were created using information and guidance from the Center for Disease
Control (CDC), Florida's Recovery Plan, the Florida Department of Education Reopening Plan, and
multiple national and state professional subject area associations.
The intent of this document is to provide content specific recommendations for the following subject
areas:
1. General Classroom Recommendations
2. Career Technical Education
3. Physical Education and Health
4. Department of Science
5. STE(A)M School Designation
6. Department of Visual and Performing Arts
The goals of this guidance are to:
• Discourage sharing of items that are difficult to clean or disinfect
• Keep each child's belongings separated from others'
• Ensure adequate supplies to minimize sharing of high touch materials to the extent
possible
• Avoid sharing electronic devices, toys, books, and other games or learning aids Encourage
Space seating/desks apart to allow for social distancing, as feasible
The following is not a comprehensive list of recommendations and will continue to evolve during the
school year as additional information becomes available.
Note that the latest scientific recommendations from our national, state and local agencies will guide
our next steps.
General Classroom Recommendations
The following recommendations have been developed for the general classroom setting. This may be
used in, however not limited to, English Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Sciences. These
guidelines are in accordance with CDC, Florida Department of Health guidance, FLDOE Guidance for
Reopening Healthy Learning Environments, and the National Council for the Social Studies(NCSS)
Resources for Covid-19 to maximize learning while adhering to current social distancing protocols.
• Arrange the classroom layout to maximize social distancing
• Collaboration is an intricate part of learning, in the wake of COVID-19 to foster a culture of
virtual grouping collaborations through breakout rooms while sitting in single file rows which
comply with social distancing guidelines
• Personal consumable worktexts or digital assignments should be used daily
• Worktexts should be carried back and forth each day to minimize cross contamination during
storing and/or distribution
EXHIBIT "B"
DocuSign Envelope ID:78C6B3EA-CF87-42A9-BCB3-A613550AD075
• Remind students that part of their Civic responsibilities is to promote the general welfare
[concern for the health, peace, morality, and safety of citizens]
• As recommended by the CDC, schools will utilize a six feet social distancing guideline. When
six feet of social distancing is not feasible, the requirements of the World Health Organization
guideline will be implemented
• Display digital copies of course content that would have traditionally been distributed using
class sets of printed material shared between multiple students and classes. Clean and
disinfect any shared equipment after each use
• Consider allowing students to assist in the role of teacher to vary the delivery mode of
instruction as much as possible
• Continue to maximize learning opportunities in which students are sharing their thoughts and
ideas about course content with one another, however instead of having them "Think, Pair,
Share" in close physical proximity, have them individually"Think, Post, Reflect" using digital
applications such as Padlet thus facilitating a digital collaboration space
• Use digital means (e.g. Teams)to conduct collaborative activities such as small group work to
conduct a history lab, prepare for a debate, or engage in a project-based learning opportunity.
• Set up desks so that students are not facing each other but facing forward in rows
• Display visual depictions and messaging of important social distance learning rules in the
classroom to serve as reminders to students
• Assign students roles to assist the teacher to monitor and ensure adherence to these
important protocols

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are designed with hands-on experiences in mind
and providing these experiences is a major concern under these conditions. Our goal is to continue
providing all students equitable access to high quality CTE programs that provide the opportunity for
students to earn dual enrollment credit, industry certifications, and work-based learning opportunities.
Therefore, accessing and utilizing CTE facilities, equipment, and materials during a COVID-19
impacted school year will require additional protocols. CTE teachers must remain attentive to the
alignment, appropriateness, and safety of the physical components of the program when considering
the use of facilities and equipment.
• Set up classroom and lab demonstrations into small groups so that students follow social
distancing guidelines, as feasible
• Set up desks so that students are not facing each other but facing forward in rows
• Use signage, tape marks on the floor or place a desk or table between the demonstration area
and the students to maintain social distancing
DocuSign Envelope ID:78C6B3EA-CF87-42A9-BCB3-A613550AD075
• Encourage only one person distribute materials/supplies to students to ensure that they are
handled by as few people as possible
• Always maintain social distancing while students are gathering supplies and materials.
• Avoid sharing of equipment as much as possible
• Wipe all shared equipment and machinery with a disinfectant before and after each use.
• Sanitize equipment and machinery between each class session. This includes disinfection of
high-touch surfaces (computer keyboards, mice)with EPA recommended disinfectants
• Closing of school-based enterprises to outside clients may need to take place or social
distancing and disinfection protocols will need to occur in order to stay open
• Wearing of safety glasses are required in certain CTE subject areas and face masks can fog
up glasses; therefore, face shields that cover the eyes, mouth, and nose may be feasible or
adding a waterproof layer to safety glasses may work
• Conduct classes or labs outside in the open air when weather permits. Learning that already
takes place in the open air, such as in CTE Agriculture or Construction programs could likely
continue
• Include as much lab time as possible during the times that schools are open in case, we need
to pivot to a remote learning environment due to an emergency closure

Physical Environment
• Select a location for instruction where students and staff can respect physical distancing
guidelines
• Limit the combining of classes
• Use outdoor spaces for physical education instruction
• Avoid the use of playground equipment, benches, or other permanent structures
• Keep the doors and windows open if possible,to maximize circulation and air flow
• Consider postponing or modifying units of instruction that take place in school weight rooms or
swimming pools
• Coordinate with classroom teachers to develop a plan for transporting students from the
classroom to the physical education space (e.g., gymnasium, outdoors, multipurpose room).
• Advise students to come to school dressed in clothes that are appropriate for participation in
physical education or physical activity, whether indoors or outdoors as locker rooms usage is
not recommended
• Sanitize all equipment for physical education, driver education, Learn to Swim and JROTC
between class periods and after each use
• Encourage students and staff to use individual water bottles
DocuSign Envelope ID:78C6B3EA-CF87-42A9-BCB3-A613550AD075
Personal Hygiene
• Teach students proper hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and physical distancing guidelines
• Require face coverings to be worn by staff and students.
Equipment Safety and Sanitation
• Inventory all equipment at the school to identify which pieces of equipment can be effectively
sanitized
• Discourage the use of equipment that would be passed between or shared by multiple
students
• Assign students to their own equipment
• Disinfect all equipment after every use
• Remove cloth or porous materials that cannot be properly sanitized (rugs, pillows, etc.)
• Separate student's belongings into a safe, clean space such as individually labeled cubbies
Instructional Strategies
• Focus more on individual pursuits or skills rather than traditional team sports or activities (e.g.,
dance and rhythms, exercises without equipment, fitness, mindfulness, outdoor pursuits, track
and field, throwing underhand, kicking and target games)
• Use games and activities (tennis, kickball, bowling) that require no physical contact and do not
require students to be in close physical proximity to each other
Aquatic-Related COVID-19 Risk
• There is currently no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 is spread person to person via the
water in environments such as pools or spas. The primary risk of spread in these
environments would be by close proximity of individuals, which is often encountered during
recreation or exercise activities. Additionally, close quarters such as facility classrooms,
locker rooms, and other common spaces are potential environments for increased risk of
disease transmission. There is also risk of transmission for lifeguards during rescues and
removals from the water where the guard may be near the victim. While not the primary
method of transmission, there is the possibility of transmission via surfaces at the facilities.

In addition to general science safety guidelines that are part of the Department of Science's Chemical
Hygiene and Laboratory Safety Plan found here, the guidelines below have been developed in
accordance with CDC guidelines, Florida Department of Health guidance, FLDOE Guidance for
Reopening Healthy Learning Environments, and NSTA recommendations to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 spread within the science classroom.
• Replace hands-on labs with virtual alternatives when safety guidelines cannot be adhered to
that still allow for student inquiry
DocuSign Envelope ID:78C6B3EA-CF87-42A9-BCB3-A613550AD075
• Use teacher-led demonstrations/experiment for students to observe phenomena, analyze
shared data, and draw conclusions to limit contact of shared materials and equipment. A
student can be substituted for the teacher and perform the experiment for the class
• Use digital means (e.g.Teams)to conduct collaborative activities related to all scientific
investigations such as brainstorming, hypothesis development, data analysis, conclusion
development, etc
• If students conduct investigations that would require the touching of any materials, only one
student (i.e. Lab Manager for the Lab Roles found in our Essential Lab documents)should
touch the materials
• Display signage of laboratory safety that emphasize cleaning and disinfecting protocols.
• Conduct scientific investigations outdoors when appropriate
• Clean and disinfect any shared laboratory equipment, including PPE such as goggles and
aprons, between uses including materials shared among teachers for teacher demonstrations.
o NOTE: If there is any chemical residue on a container or surface,the disinfectant can
react in a negative manner, resulting in an unsafe environment for the staff and the
students. Teachers should refer to safety labels that accompany the chemicals'
container or find appropriate safety precautions for specific chemicals at
