[aisle] Current Book Check out and Return/Quarantine Procedures

[Ruszel, Cathy]

Hi Christine,

Chicago Public Schools does have a mandatory mask mandate for all teachers
and students.

As far as space, I Unfortunately I don’t have enough space at the 6 tables
for 32 students to be 3 feet apart and there is also limited floor space.

CPS knows this is a problem in some classrooms hence the “3 feet apart when
possible”.

I’m not getting any suggestions from admin.

The library was once a storage closet so it is long and narrow limiting
table and furniture configuration.

Perhaps I could move some of the chairs away from the tables though.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Cathy
