Follow revised school procedures needed for health and safety.

Follow Department of Health Protocols for contact tracing and quarantine/

self-isolation.

As of August 7, 2021, Superintendent Michael J. Burke exercised his
authority to amend Employee Policy 3.82, all employees are required to

wear facial coverings while on District-operated transportation or property.
Recommended facial coverings should be two layers of cloth without vents
or holes. The District will provide washable facial coverings upon
EMPLOYEES request. Facial covering requirements will be revisited by the

Superintendent on a regular basis. Facial coverings are not required to be
worn outdoors on District property.

Social distancing is encouraged to the extent possible.

For employees who are exposed to, or are themselves COVID positive, fall
under either the CTA or AESOP collective bargaining agreement, and are

ordered to quarantine by the Department of Health, they will be paid during
the quarantine period without having to use accrued leave. Through
September 30th, all other employee groups will be granted up to ten (10)

days of paid leave if ordered to quarantine. Such a leave of absence may
only be granted once. If they have already had this leave, and they are not in
CTA or AESOP, they will need to utilize accrued leave or take an unpaid

leave of absence for any subsequent quarantines. All employees will be
required to provide a letter from the Department of Health requiring
quarantine as well as complete appropriate leave request documents. The

District payroll analysts can assist the schools in determining what
paperwork is needed.

Self-screenings for temperature are encouraged but not required.

Additionally, daily health screenings are optional.
