PCS Superintendent Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update - June 26, 2020

Parents/Guardians/Patrons/Staff,

Good evening. Per feedback from Governor Ricketts, we are now in Phase III of reopening in the Sarpy/Cass Health District. Scroll down the page for a link to the latest information from Governor Ricketts.

We are gathering input from staff members and parents/guardians that will help us plan for the 2020-2021 school year. Your feedback is important to us as we plan for the upcoming school year. A survey was distributed to our staff members. Yesterday, a survey was distributed to parents/guardians.

Once we receive staff and parent/guardian feedback via surveys, we will work with the Sarpy/Cass Health Department and develop an informed plan for our students and staff members in Plattsmouth. Rest assured that health and safety will be a top consideration with our reopening plan. We hope to have a plan, based on health considerations at that time, distributed by the week of July 13.

At the present time, we are implementing a strength and conditioning plan that includes no more than 15 student-athletes at a time with strength training in the fitness center and no more than 15 student-athletes conditioning on the football/soccer field (weather permitting). We also developed a plan for baseball/softball with primarily student-athletes that will be in 9^th through 12^th grades in the 2020-2021 school year, while maintaining a focus on the health and safety for participants and fans. Given the current COVID-19 environment, these organizations have enhanced guidelines relative to the lease agreement, insurance, and facilities responsibilities.

We will be allowing additional district-sponsored activities on our campuses for students that will be in 9^th through 12^th grades in the 2020-2021 school year in July. In an effort to maintain health and safety for children and adults, we do not plan to open any other indoor or outdoor facilities for public use during the month of July. June and July will be trial periods, given that there are still many unknowns with COVID-19. I believe it is worthy of pointing out that we also do not plan to have childcare (including POPS Place) at any of our buildings during the month of July.

Sat., July 25 - A traditional, in-person ceremony in which students walk and receive their diplomas has been scheduled for this day.

I am pleased to inform you that we received approval from the Sarpy/Cass Health Department to host an in-person graduation ceremony for our seniors. We plan to have the ceremony outside (weather permitting). Otherwise, we plan to have it in the gymnasium. Please understand that we will have a limited capacity, as well as specific guidelines for graduates and attendees, in an effort to maintain a focus on the health and safety of those present at the event. We also plan to live stream the event on the web with Blue Devil Television (BDTV), so those that are not in attendance can have an awesome view to watch the graduation ceremony for our 2020 seniors.

The Plattsmouth Community Schools and OPAA! continue to provide food for families at no charge for any child in a household from birth to age 18 regardless of income. Meals are being distributed by the sidewalk near the front entrance of Plattsmouth Middle School at 1724 8th Ave. Meals are distributed each weekday in one shift between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Each child will receive one lunch for that day and one breakfast for the following day. We plan to continue this format on weekdays through the summer until Fri., July 31, 2020. Everyone that has been receiving deliveries will continue to receive them in the same format that has been used up to this point with one delivery per week.

To help us get an accurate meal count, if you need food assistance, please call 402-296-3361 and provide the necessary information.

Our school social workers prepared their last message of the 2020-2021 school year that includes tips for coping with COVID-19. Go to https://bit.ly/3bUCg9p and read their message.

If you or someone you know needs assistance with water, food, or other supplies, please contact the school social worker at the building where your child attends school.

2020-2021 State Aid Certification is available from the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) at https://www.education.ne.gov/fos/state-aid/. PCS will have a decrease of $565,916 in State Aid for 2020-2021. When we figure in the prior year (2018-2019) correction of +$128,469 that we received in 2019-2020, the difference between 2019-2020 State Aid and 2020-2021 State Aid is even greater. At the May meeting, our Board of Education approved the 2020-2021 Budget Efficiency Plan that can be viewed at https://bit.ly/2WU23u1. Scroll down to item 7.15.

The good news is that in 2020-2021 we estimate the second year of approximately 100 students entering kindergarten, as opposed to lower numbers from the immediately preceding years that are evident in our 1st grade (78 students), 2nd grade (88 students), 3rd, grade (93 students) and 4th grade (93 students). If you have suggestions for how our district might be more efficient with resources and address the decrease in State Aid, please submit your ideas in the Business Services/Budget section under District Topics on our Let’s Talk site at https://bit.ly/2Y9ua9N.

We are in this together. Stay safe. We are Blue Devil Nation! We are #PLATTSMOUTHSTRONG!

Best regards,

Superintendent Dr. Richard E. Hasty
