| How does the LEA plan to use funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies in order to continuously and safely operate schools for in-person learning? |
*
Midfield City Schools will be using these funds to support the recovery of learning for all students in the district. The core purpose of Midfield City Schools is to education our community of learners in a safe learning environment. COVID-19 brought about significant issues in our district related to building structure, facility, transportation, mental health, physical health, academic learning virtual and face-to-face. In Midfield City Schools(MCS) goal is to implement prevention procedures that will alleviate sustained time away from school for employees and students.
Mask will be required for all staff and students. Parents and others will be allowed limited access to school building during the school day. If school are able to maintain these areas, this will help promote a safe environment for learning. MCS was a virtual system for 90% of the 2019-2020 and a significant part of the 2020-2021 school year. During that time the district was able to determine what areas needed immediate attention for funding.
Survey information from walk-throughs showed them how to move forward to create a safer environment to support student learning. A Needs Assessments was completed by staff, parents, students and the community to determine to implement change and support face to face learning. From this assessment information, stakeholders noted top issues related to technology infrastructure and device access, curriculum and personnel to address learning loss, mental health and social emotional learning support. More personnel in health services to support all staff and health room facility updates. More Custodial and CNP help that will clean highly used areas and to provide quality meals in a social distance environment. Better temperature controlled classrooms, air quality control and continuous sanitizing to support good health. The mitigation strategies that have been and are in place for MCS is to ensure that priority has been given to the schools and the needs of the students. HVAC and air quality are at the top of the list of needs. School principals will work with custodians to put in place a plan to continuously wipe and clean those high touched areas and clean restrooms. Teachers will have on-hand cleaning supplies to clean and sanitize their areas as needed. The maintenance department will work daily to ensure that air systems/heating system are maintained and school building are temperature control and quality air is circulating. Our previous ESSER funds were used to provide upgrades to the AC Units for each school. Funds from upcoming funds will be used to support this area to ensure air quality is at its best in each school. Midfield City School will require all students and staff to wear mask inside the building. All classes will social distance based on the ADPH guidelines for 3ft and 6ft. Temperatures will be taken before adults are allowed in the building. Health Services will be available in each school. Once a student has been identified as ill, nurses have plans for quarantine and parent contact. School administrators all have the same plan for follow through on adults or students who may be ill or displaying COVID-19 systems. Constant communication and checklist and check-ups will assist MCS in maintaining a safe and productive school environment.

| How will the LEA ensure that the evidence-based interventions will address the academic impact of lost instructional time and ensure that those interventions respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students including underrepresented student subgroups (each major racial and ethnic group, children from low-income families, children with disabilities, English Learners, gender, migrant students, students experiencing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care) and those who are particularly impacted disproportionately by the COVID-19 pandemic? |
*
|
The LEA will ensure that the evidence-based interventions will address the academic impact of lost instructional time and that the interventions respond appropriately to the needs of all students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by utilizing a multi-tiered approach of identifying needs, selecting interventions, planning interventions, implementing interventions and examining progress.
Identifying Needs
The LEA will collect and synthesize data to determine student needs caused by learning loss. Results from a district needs assessment, enrollment data, student and staff attendance, earned high school credits as well as comparison data from formative and summative assessments will be used to identify needs. In addition, the district is currently implementing the following to address learning loss: credit recovery, summer learning programming, ACCESS for ELL data and additional learning days added to the school calendar through a program called R.A.I.S.E. that will continue to address those specific students most in need of individual assistance.
Selecting Interventions
The following intervention options have been identified by the LEA: Extended school day(after school), extended school year (adding days to the calendar), high frequency tutoring, summer learning and virtual learning curriculum options for students.
Plan for Implementation
The following performance indicators will be used to determine implementation of interventions at each school: academic performance, student engagement, social and emotional needs and graduation rate. All three schools within the LEA will participate in the appropriate interventions. All students in all subgroups will have an opportunity to participate in the interventions selected. Targeted groups for selected interventions will be students who are not on track to meet graduation requirements, students with remedial plans or categorized as struggling students, and all students who struggle academically, socially, and emotionally. Focus subgroups: Black, Hispanic, students with disabilities and English Language Learners, students experiencing a Homeless situation, living in foster care and all other student in need will receive specific academic instruction.
Training will be required for staff, students and parents for interventions. Other needed resources include highly effective staff, instructional materials, technology and professional development. The proposed timeline is August, 2021 until September, 2024.
Examine Progress
The LEA will carry out the following plan to examine progress of the interventions: Collect information to monitor the quality of supports being provided for the intervention(s), Consider what additional information is needed to determine if the intervention(s) is working, Assess the degree to which the implementation plan is being followed. Identify ways to break down barriers.
The LEA will conduct walkthroughs, instructional rounds, formative assessments, review disproportionality data, monitor participation and student engagement, graduation credits, attendance, pass rate and graduation rate. In addition, the LEA will analyze data from summative assessments, including, but not limited to the ACAP Summative, ACCESS, ACT plus writing and ACT WorkKeys. All interventions will be fully implemented by September, 2024. An intervention analysis will be conducted annually at each school and report in district reports.
