In addition to grouping children in pods, as well as providing face masks to students and staff and requiring their use with minimal exceptions, such as eating, drinking and medical exemptions, CPS has taken steps to comply with public health guidance and mitigate coronavirus outbreaks. Those include symptom and temperature screening; supplies of soap, sanitizer, wipes and disinfectant sprays for each school; and the installation of air filters, sneeze guards and distancing signs. CPS has also hired dedicated contact tracers and plans to bring in an additional 400 custodians. The district will also “facilitate access” to free COVID-19 testing for students and staff who show symptoms or have had close contact with an infected person, and is planning surveillance testing of school-based staff.
