SMART SAFETY MEASURES
For students and staff learning in our buildings, we will implement safety measures. DPSCD was allocated $85 million in CARES Act funding to implement COVID-19 safety measures to ensure the health and wellness of students, teachers and staff. To date, the district’s board has approved $25 million in spending for personal protective equipment, temperature stations, cleaning supplies and classroom safety items. We have also increased the frequency of custodial services to include daily cleaning and sanitization.
School safety measures include, but are not limited to:
• COVID-19 testing for employees
• Training on healthy hygiene practices for students and staff
• Daily temperature and self-symptom checks for employees and students
• Required use of masks; reusable masks will be provided to all students and staff
• Expansion of nursing services in every school
• Hand sanitizer in each classroom and regular restocking of soap in bathrooms.
41
SMART SAFETY MEASURES CONTINUED
Daily Deep Cleaning
Classrooms, offices and shared
spaces will be cleaned daily
with EPA-recommended
disinfecting products. All
spaces have a posted cleaning
log. Custodial staff will
complete the log daily showing
that a specific room/area has
been cleaned (high-touch hard
surfaces disinfected).
All buildings and busses
cleaned and disinfected prior to
staff and students returning.
COVID Testing
Before returning to work, all employees
need a negative viral Covid-19 test. While
students were tested for Summer School,
student testing is not required for the fall.
If a student or family member has
symptoms, you can be tested without a
prescription at the City of Detroit drive-
through testing sites. All tests require an
appointment. To schedule a test, call 313-
230-0505.
Visit www.michigan.gov/coronavirus
for other testing sites near you, including
those that do not require insurance.
Monitoring and Accountability
As the District implements
safety guidelines, a team of 4
people will monitor safety daily
in schools and complete daily
compliance reports.
Parents can email
call 313-578-7018 to report
concerns. The District will
respond within 24 hours.

RESPONSE TO CONFIRMED CASES
DPSCD is working closely with the Detroit Health Department and state authorities through this pandemic,
including on a response plan in the case that a positive case is confirmed.
This includes:
• Proactive communication about confirmed cases once information is confirmed with public health officials
• Buildings and offices closed for disinfecting before students and staff return
• Students continue to engage in regular instruction online with regular assignments, attendance, and grades
