In view of recent CDC guidance changes and the Mayor’s recent adjustments to Emergency Order (EO) 13, ASD is implementing the following changes concerning the wearing of masks/face coverings in ASD schools/facilities, the requirement to test temperatures, and to complete a COVID-19 questionnaire before entering buildings. These changes only apply to ASD employees.
Mask/face covering wear in ASD facilities:
- Within a defined, enclosed space, employees may remove face coverings and be closer than six feet from others when meeting in a group provided:
- All members of the group are fully vaccinated (2 weeks after receiving a 2nd Pfizer or Moderna shot or 2 weeks after receiving a single Johnson & Johnson shot); and
- All members of the group are comfortable not wearing masks during the meeting.
- Face coverings will be worn and social distancing enforced if:
- One or more members of a group is not fully vaccinated;
- If the vaccination status of all members cannot be determined; or
- If one or more members of the group are not comfortable meeting without masks.
- While in a public setting or walking through hallways, face coverings will be worn and social distancing will be maintained.
- Employees will always wear masks/face coverings when working with or when around students.
- Employees are may continue to wear masks at all times if they prefer.
- Read about the available face covering options for staff at ASD.
Daily temperature testing and completing a COVID-19 questionnaire:
- ASD employees will no longer be required to test temperatures or complete a questionnaire when entering ASD facilities.
- Employees with unexplained or new symptoms are to remain at home until a negative test is received or after 10 days of home quarantine. Likewise, staff who are not fully vaccinated and are close contacts of a confirmed positive are to remain quarantined until completed.
- Schools will retain digital thermometers and one computer kiosk in administrative offices for visitor use (non-ASD staff).
