D Transitioning to Plan B
Determining our approach to bringing students back for in-
person learning
Guiding Principles
● The safety of our students and school-based faculty / staff is of utmost importance
● Children benefit most from in-person learning and the associated socialization which
accompanies it
● Data (e.g., state & local public health metrics, operational effectiveness, etc.) will
inform the timing and rapidity with which CMS transitions to Plan B
● The transition to Plan B will be staggered by grade level(s) (i.e., CMS will not transition
all grade levels, PK-12, to Plan B simultaneously)
● Attendance groups A, B and C will remain intact (i.e., CMS will not reduce the number
of attendance groups)
● Decisions will be made districtwide (i.e., CMS will not transition schools in one part of
the district at a different cadence than schools in another part of the district)

D R Inform Phases
Phased Approach
● We begin to bring in identified grade levels as well as identified EC students (i.e.,
those in separate school or separate classroom settings) in Phase I, no sooner than
September 14th
● We would then add grades no sooner than every 3 weeks after Sept. 14th and if public
health and operational metrics support doing so, on an A/B/C week rotation.
● We will explore multiple models for phasing in students

Best case scenario, with all public health and operational effectiveness metrics remaining positive
and stable, it will take 9 weeks to complete the phased transition to Plan B using model 2.

Inform Metrics
Metrics
● We need to identify a clear dataset that will inform the start of CMS’ transition to
Plan B as well as the staged implementation of each phase
● Metrics will help us determine if we are ready to expand to the next grades, or if
we need to hold with the current grades attending in-person
● Phase implementation will be determined by meeting certain metrics (between
phases) before additional phases are launched. If the metrics are not met, then
the next phase is paused until threshold is achieved.
