Coronavirus

The latest on the Coronavirus

Colorado Springs Charter Academy is actively taking steps to:

· help prevent the transmission and spread of COVID-19;

· protect our students, staff, and community; and

· minimize the disruption of teaching and learning.

We are actively reviewing and updating our Emergency Operations Plan for Infectious Diseases, as well as creating multi-tiered education and communication plans.

These plans build on everyday practices, such as educating about proper hygiene, monitoring absenteeism and communicating regularly. Should a case or outbreak of COVID-19 be identified within our community, these plans will allow us to react quickly.

We are following the guidance of local, state and national health departments, but please remember this is a rapidly changing situation. As we update information and plans, we will share them with you. Below is a list of actions we are currently taking. CSCA is:

· Following guidelines from the El Paso County Health Department for cleaning

· Monitoring absenteeism within our schools and departments

· Working closely with the El Paso County Department of Public Health

· Establishing procedures for students and staff who test positive for COVID-19

· Creating criteria for holding and/or cancelling large-scale events and gatherings

· Determining plans if school/building closures are needed

· Developing guidance for domestic/international travel and school reentry

· Developing education and communication about proper hygiene
