PA Ed Policy Roundup for March 27, 2020


Penn Live By Christine Vendel | cvendel@pennlive.com Today 5:15 AM
Many Pa. school districts are doing technology surveys to ensure all students could get access to online assignments and activities.
For much of the coronavirus shutdown in Pennsylvania, school district leaders believed they could wait or simply provide review material to students to avoid litigation due to federal requirements for special education. Turns out, that may not be the case. New guidelines issued Wednesday night through the state department of education website said “evolving United States Department of Education guidance implies federal protections still apply whether or not schools offer continuity of education.” That statement, combined with the increasing likelihood of extended closures and a bill approved by legislators Wednesday requiring districts to post continuity of education plans to their websites, spurred a flurry of new activity by school districts this week to start teaching kids remotely. Many districts are conducting technology surveys to determine how many students have access to devices and WiFi to receive online instruction. The Mechanicsburg Area School District is handing out devices to families who need them Friday morning. The Middletown School District is distributing iPads to all elementary students next week as older students already have school-issued devices.

Editorial | Offering online learning should be a priority
The Tribune-Democrat March 27, 2020
The coronavirus pandemic has left schools across the state scrambling to fulfill their education obligations. Gov. Tom Wolf earlier this month issued an order for Pennsylvania’s schools to be closed for two weeks beginning on March 16 to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. At that time, most of the state’s confirmed cases were in southeastern Pennsylvania. Since then, the impact has become more widespread, and Wolf recently extended the closure one more week, meaning students can resume classes no earlier than April 9. But with so much uncertainty surrounding the outbreak, schools are urged to offer as much online learning as possible. On Wednesday, Education Secretary Pedro Rivera said “we are encouraging schools not to wait” until the state lifts the order. We agree, and urge local schools to heed Rivera’s recommendation. “As we have been looking at providing that continuity of education, we’ve taken a position that we are strongly urging school districts not to wait and not to stand on the periphery – to really engage students and provide education opportunities that could be provided today,” Rivera said. “And we’ll continue to support students in the event of prolonged school closures.”

Philly schools spending $11M on computers to be used during coronavirus closures; Comcast CEO, family donating $5M
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Updated: March 26, 2020- 9:39 PM
The Philadelphia school board voted Thursday night to authorize $11 million for the purchase of up to 50,000 computers to make distance learning possible for all students during an extended school closure forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also gave Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. temporary special powers to make financial and operational decisions quickly and absent formal board approval during the national emergency. Closed for two weeks to date, and at least through April 6 by state order, the Philadelphia School District has not been requiring students to learn during the pandemic because many lack the technology needed for online instruction, and because it has not made provisions for students with special needs and English language learners. The school system will now repurpose some existing Chromebooks for its 120,000-plus students but needs the additional computers to place machines in the hands of all children. Hite said the Chromebooks, to be purchased from Computer Dealers Inc., will be ready for distribution by April 8 “using social distancing and health and safety protocols,” and learning will begin by April 17 — meaning Philadelphia students will have missed four weeks of instruction. Comcast Corp. CEO Brian Roberts on Thursday night told The Inquirer that he, his wife, Aileen, and their children are donating $5 million to offset the cost of the computers. Roberts said that when he learned of the district’s inability to conduct lessons, he was moved.

“The evening’s live-streamed and televised format left viewers faced with the strange sight of a few officials spread out in an almost-empty meeting room. Along with Hite, three board members — president Joyce Wilkerson, Christopher McGinley and Julia Danzy — were carefully spaced apart at a U-shaped table that spanned the width of the room. The other six members participated by phone. Public testimony was taken in writing prior to the meeting, and by Twitter and email during the session, but no members of the public were permitted to attend. The quickly-arranged format was less than ideal, board members acknowledged. And while the board made no specific promises about how next month’s meetings will run, member Lee Huang said he hoped they’ll be smoother. “We hope to use what we learn in future meetings,” Huang said. In statements, several board members expressed frustration and “outrage” and how the coronavirus crisis has more starkly exposed the digital divide and the inequities among school districts.”

In an extraordinary meeting for extraordinary times, the Philadelphia Board of Education Thursday voted to spend $11 million to purchase 50,000 Chromebooks so that students can start structured online learning during the school shutdown due to COVID-19. The board also passed a resolution that gives Superintendent William Hite sweeping powers for the next month, allowing him to enter into contracts and take other actions without board approval so he can quickly respond to needs during the crisis.  “This is unprecedented territory for us as a governing board,” said board chair Joyce Wilkerson. Hite announced that the Chromebooks, from the Canadian company CDI Technologies, would be readied for distribution between March 30 and April 10. During that period, teachers would be trained on online learning. Families will be notified when and where they can pick them up between April 6 and 8, he said. Starting on April 13, “teachers will begin using digital learning tools,” according to Hite’s presentation to the board.

Pittsburgh City schools create survey to understand students' technology needs
ANDREW GOLDSTEIN Pittsburgh Post-Gazette agoldstein@post-gazette.com MAR 26, 2020 6:31 PM
The Pittsburgh Public Schools said it will hand out a survey on Friday that will help the district develop an understanding of students’ technology needs should the COVID-19 closure become further extended. The surveys will be available at the 30 grab-and-go meal locations that the district has set up for students throughout the city. “We know that as a school district, we have an equity issue when it comes to student/family access to technology devices and the internet,” Superintendent Anthony Hamlet wrote Thursday on his official Facebook page. “To address these gaps, we have launched a Home Technology Survey to gauge the home technology hardware and internet needs of our students to support at home learning.” The district said the information is necessary to obtain as it prepares to launch at-home learning should the need for closure extend past April 14. The survey can be returned to grab and go locations on Monday and Tuesday. The survey will close end of day Wednesday. The survey is also available online at https://pghboe.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_803PDJabeIJpH2R
Families can also leave a message at the PPS Call Center 412-529-4357, and someone will contact them to fill out the survey on their behalf.

PBS39 launches educational programing for Lehigh Valley students home during coronavirus outbreak
By JACQUELINE PALOCHKO THE MORNING CALL | MAR 26, 2020 | 4:20 PM
Beginning Monday, PBS39 will offer daily education programs to help Lehigh Valley children who lack the internet to do online lessons but want to continue learning while schools are closed because of the coronavirus outbreak. The programs will broadcast over two channels from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. To develop the curriculum, PBS39, an entity of Lehigh Valley Public Media, worked with the Allentown and Bethlehem Area school districts, both of which have a number of students who do not have access to the internet. Each grade will have two and a half hours of airtime daily. PBS39 is prepared to provide curriculum for as long as students are out of school, said Victoria Scialfa, marketing and public relations manager for Lehigh Valley Public Media. On March 13, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that schools would be closed for two weeks. He extended that on Monday to at least April 6. State officials have said that timeline could be extended again. The Pennsylvania Department of Education is urging districts to provide students with either mandatory lessons or optional enrichment activities. But that’s difficult for students who live in homes without computers and the internet. Some districts can give every child a laptop or hotspot, but many financially-strapped districts cannot. That’s where PBS39 will come in, Scialfa said. PBS39 estimates that it reaches about 3.28 million households. “We have a tool that is accessible to literally anyone with a television,” she said.

With coronavirus closing schools, Pennsylvania Education Secretary Pedro Rivera urges districts to do their best to continue to educate students
Schools across Pennsylvania have been shut down since March 16, and kids won't be returning to their classrooms until April 9 at the earliest. There's a chance they might not be going back at all this school year. With that in mind, Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera said during a media conference call Wednesday that he's urging school districts to do their best to come up with short-term and long-term plans to continue to educate students. "As we've been looking at continuity of education, we are strongly urging school districts not to wait, to not stand on the periphery," Rivera said during the 45-minute question-and-answer session. What those plans will look like, Rivera said, will differ from district to district.  "Our schools are extremely diverse, geographically, economically, their student bodies are different," he said. Rivera said some districts will likely rely on mostly online options for students, while other may need to use paper and pencil models. Discussions are underway with the Legislature and the governor's office, as well as with the federal government, about finding additional funding to help districts provide additional technology to students. "We're working really hard to not transfer a huge bulk of this cost to the school districts," Rivera said. The state Department of Education has been coordinating with the state's 29 intermediate units, which have been designated as clearinghouses for local school districts. The intermediate units have been tasked with providing technical assistance and other resources to schools.

COVID-19 in Northeastern Pa.: With schools closed, teachers, administrators try to preserve sense of routine
By Patrick Abdalla Special to the Capital-Star March 26, 2020
SCRANTON, Pa. — Nicole Van Luvender had 60 seconds. She wanted to make them matter. The principal at Riverside West in Taylor, in Lackawanna County in northeastern Pennsylvania, planned on leaving a short telephone message for each of her students last Friday. The school includes kindergarten through second grades. It has been shutdown since March 16. “On some level, I wanted to reach out and create a sense of normalcy,” she told the Capital-Star. So she basically recreated the school’s Friday morning announcements. That Saturday was National Down Syndrome Day, so she told her students about it and reminded them to wear blue. She updated them on the Read-a-Thon they were participating in. And she finished the voicemail off with the “Friday Cheer.” Van Luvender is just one of many area residents trying to lend a hand as the region grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. Katie Gilmartin is another person stepping up. The Scranton School District Board President and co-owner of Nada & Co., an apparel store in Scranton,  has helped coordinate an effort known as the “Masked Bandits.”  The group has sent out kits to help make masks for different people who will be working through the situation. Anyone can join the effort. “We’ve put together at least 25 kits with 20 masks in each,” she told the Capital-Star. Such area businesses as  Sarno & Sons, a tuxedo company, and Woods and Company, a furniture store, have donated materials. Gilmartin and others have been putting them in packages for people to assemble into masks. Those masks are then donated to the Lackawanna and Luzerne County Medical Societies by being dropped off at several regional locations.

‘The perfect storm:’ How COVID-19 has multiplied the risk for children in abusive households
PA Capital Star By  Elizabeth Hardison March 26, 2020
Social workers say children may be particularly prone to neglect and abuse as the COVID pandemic strains incomes and confines families to their homes.
Even in the best of times, experts say that Pennsylvania’s child welfare system is fraught with high worker turnover and shoddy record keeping, making it difficult to rescue children from dangerous households.  But the COVID-19 pandemic, which has convulsed the national labor market and confined entire families to their homes, has introduced a whole new set of dangers to children trapped in abusive families. “We may not lose children to COVID-19 … but they could well die from the abuse and neglect that results from the [pandemic],” said Marsy Hamilton, executive director of Child USA, an advocacy organization and think-tank at the University of Pennsylvania.  The statewide shutdowns of schools, daycares and businesses have fractured crucial links in Pennsylvania’s child welfare system, leaving children particularly vulnerable to abuse and neglect, advocates and case workers told the Capital-Star this week.  What’s more, the risks of spreading COVID-19 — coupled with the restrictions that public officials have put in place to contain it — are preventing social workers from entering homes to investigate abuse claims, they said.

Students experiencing homelessness could be disproportionately impacted by school closures
WITF By Sarah Schneider/WESA MARCH 26, 2020 | 8:06 PM
Prolonged school closures are expected to disproportionately impact children and youth experiencing homelessness. Carlos Carter, Executive Director of the Pittsburgh-based Homeless Children’s Education Fund, said statewide shutdowns to limit the spread of the new coronavirus underscore systemic inequities. “All families are facing challenges, but the more stable households have technology, they have food, they’re not worried about that,” he said. “But for our families who are already hanging on the threads of stability or instability, this can really throw them over the cliff.” State Education Secretary Pedro Rivera said Wednesday that most of the work to support students experiencing homelessness is the responsibility of individual school districts. He said the Department of Education is coordinating with the 29 Intermediate Units, which are the points of contact for the state’s more than 500 districts.

It's a new process, but West Chester students adapt to remote learning
West Chester Daily Local by BILL RETTEW Mar 26, 2020
EAST WHITELAND — West Chester Area School District Superintendent Dr. Jim Scanlon thanked the community for their patience, understanding, and support as the district “works furiously to shift to an online learning model.” “These are truly incredible times,” Scanlon said. “I’m so proud of our staff who have been working around the clock to adjust, adapt, and get ready to reach out to our students with new instruction. “I speak for all of our staff when I say that we really do love and value our students. We are here for them! We will get through this together.” The duration of school closings in the state is unknown. Most schools are planning for extended closures. Teachers provided some learning materials on Monday, March 23 and will use the rest of this coming week for training and planning, with the exception of high school AP teachers who may be able to continue with new instruction. If the WCASD is closed past March 27, the district will provide instruction of new materials beginning March 30. “To be sensitive to our teachers, many of whom are also at home without child care, we are incorporating days ‘off’ for students so that teachers can have time to plan,” Scanlon wrote in a letter to parents, staff and students. “We’ll be sure to update you as things evolve.” Scanlon said he anticipated that Friday, June 5 will be the last student day. The PA Department of Education has waived the 180-day requirement.

Separated by coronavirus, teachers on parade for students
Pottstown Mercury By David Mekeel dmekeel@readingeagle.com @dmekeel on Twitter Mar 26, 2020 Updated 14 hrs ago
Even with schools across Pennsylvania closed because of the coronavirus crisis, teachers and staff from two Berks County school districts decided to take time to visit with their students Thursday — but only in passing, as in a parade. Antietam and Conrad Weiser held mini-parades, with teachers and other staff members in their vehicles driving around the district. They were greeted by smiling and waving students, some holding signs saying hello and that they miss their teachers. Escorting the respective caravans and providing traffic control were South Heidelberg Township police in Weiser and Central Berks Regional Police in Antietam.

'I really miss them': Teachers parade through Hempfield to see students while practicing social distancing
Lancaster Online by ALEX GELI | Staff Writer March 27, 2020
Jess Shultz's three boys were up Thursday morning closely watching the clock until 10 a.m. arrived. Once it was almost time, they lugged lawn chairs out to the driveway and waited. Soon, the sound of car horns could be heard in the distance. A parade was coming. Rolling through the West Hempfield Township neighborhood came dozens of cars, each with a special someone inside: a Mountville Elementary School teacher. As vehicles passed, teachers waved and shouted out the window. Some even displayed posters on their cars. “Mountville Rocks! We miss you all!” one said. “If you're happy and you know it, wash your hands!” another read. The parade, one of several going on Thursday throughout Hempfield School District, was a safe and responsible way for students and teachers to interact amid a weekslong school shutdown because of the coronavirus. West Hempfield Township police provided an escort. “We're teachers. We're used to that one-on-one relationship with our kids,” said Missy Paup, a first-grade teacher at Mountville who organized the parade. “So as much as they're missing us, we're missing them, too.”

A school board swearing-in during the coronavirus pandemic: 'He swore me in outside ... in my slippers'
Lancaster Online by ALEX GELI | Staff Writer March 27, 2020
As a magisterial district judge in Lancaster city, Bruce Roth has sworn in school board members before – but not quite like this. On Wednesday, Roth and his wife, Lisa Helm, were walking through the city when a voice cried out, asking for Roth’s help. It was Mara Creswell McGrann, a School District of Lancaster school board member, with Lois Strause, who was appointed to the school board Tuesday but wasn’t sworn in yet. Strause filled the seat of school board member Randolph Carney, who died earlier this month. Scheduling Strause’s swearing in, however, was complicated with strict social distancing in place because of the coronavirus. So McGrann jumped on the opportunity. “I jokingly said, ‘Hey, Bruce, can you swear Lois in?’” Creswell McGrann recounted Thursday. Roth obliged. Strause went into her house, ran upstairs and printed her oath of office while Creswell McGrann, Roth and Helm waited outside. “He swore me in outside of my house in my slippers,” Strause, a retired Wheatland Middle School teacher, told LNP | LancasterOnline Thursday. “It was just serendipitous. It was fun.”

The Biggest Distance-Learning Experiment In History: Week One

For 6-year-old Sadie Hernandez, the first day of online school started at her round, wooden kitchen table in Jacksonville, Fla. She turned on an iPad and started talking to her first grade teacher, Robin Nelson. "Are you ready to do this online stuff?" her teacher asks, in a video sent to NPR by Hernandez's mother, Audrey. "Yeah," Sadie responds. "It's kind of scary isn't it?" "Kind of." Sadie's teacher reminds her that they'll be using the educational software that she is already familiar with from her face-to-face classes at Ortega Elementary School: "It's iReady, so we've got that. And we've got WritingCity. And now you know how to meet me in the morning." Every state has closed at least some public schools to fight the spread of coronavirus, and some are starting to say they expect to be closed through the end of the school year. Thrown into the breach, public schools are setting out on an unprecedented experiment: With little training and even fewer resources, in a matter of days they're shifting from a system of education that for centuries has focused on face to face interaction, to one that works entirely at a distance.
