Exposure at School:
There is a difference between a student quarantine from exposure at school and exposure at home. The attendance coding slides have also been updated:
Exposure at School:
- Students are placed on Modified Quarantine (meaning they may still attend school but should not be attending extracurricular events).
- Students may CHOOSE to stay home, which then allows them to participate in Independent Study and a contract may be offered.
- If they do not want to come to school and do not want Independent Study, then they are coded “W” with a comment that they are out due to COVID exposure at school."
- Students are placed on a Mandatory Quarantine.
- Students MUST stay home so their absence is excused (per Admin Reg 48205 #2.); therefore not eligible for Short Term Independent Study, coded "W" and leave a comment out due to at-home COVID exposure.
- Using the code "W" will still account for student absences to be excused, but will not count against them for excessive absences/truancy purposes.

School Site Secretary Subs
In response to your growing need for clerical support, we have temporarily changed the testing requirement for current employees who want to help with clerical subbing. This means that your current classified staff could sub for your School Secretary absences and get paid the clerical rate.
In response to your growing need for clerical support, we have temporarily changed the testing requirement for current employees who want to help with clerical subbing. This means that your current classified staff could sub for your School Secretary absences and get paid the clerical rate.
Your classified employees can not vacate their regular assigned job to sub. However, they can sub around their regular hours, as long as they receive the appropriate breaks (per CSEA contract). This temporary change is intended for immediate needs when a regular clerical sub is not available through Substitute Services. You are welcome to discuss the opportunity with available staff.
Please notify Lori Orr (lorr@rcsdk8.org) if you have any current employee recommendations. Lori Orr will follow up with information to the employee and then share with our Substitute Services Coordinator.
