Update on quarantine guidance entering the New Year
A.W. Beattie Career Center
Health and Safety Plan
January 3, 2022
Welcome Back – Happy New Year
We hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. The Career Center will coordinate with each of our consortium school districts as quarantine related guidance continues to evolve. We are expecting additional updates this week and will share the information that we receive. Masks will continue to be required under our approved Health and Safety Plan.
A.W. Beattie Career Center will continue to follow the Career Center’s 2021-2022 Updated Health and Safety plan as approved by the Joint Operating Committee of the Career Center on Thursday, August 19, 2021, as previously communicated.
The approved plan for the Career Center has three approaches to ensure our continuity of education:
- During levels of substantial and high spread of COVID-19 within Allegheny County all students will be required to wear a face mask and instructors will be required to wear a face mask or shield during the instructional day when inside the building. Allegheny County is currently at a high level of COVID-19 community transmission.
- During a moderate level of transmission within the county all unvaccinated students and staff members will be required to follow the guidance in item #1. All other students and staff members will be encouraged to follow the same guidance.
- During a low level COVID-19 designation in the county, students and staff will not be required to wear a mask or face shield. Students and staff members during this designation may still wear a face mask or shield if they wish.
Our plan has been effective in limiting the number of students and staff with COVID-19 exposure quarantine issues related to the activities of the Career Center. The wearing of masks has aided us remaining in class without interruptions. Students and staff that are involved in activities outside of the building on campus will not be required to wear a mask. Our plan, as stated above will be followed as transmission levels lower in Allegheny County. The staff of the Career Center appreciates your continued support and cooperation.
Respectfully,
Eric Heasley, Executive Director
