Structure:
This COVID-19 Safety Plan is built directly from the most recent Washington State Department of Health (DOH) guidance for schools. Each section begins with the exact language provided by DOH and is followed by any clarification needed for implementation in the Lake Washington School District. Additionally, the Appendices contain forms needed for district processes. When agencies update their guidance, this plan will be updated.

Application:
All parts of this COVID-19 Safety Plan apply to all operations of the Lake Washington School District and should be considered prior to planning activities or events. In order to maintain the safety and well-being of all staff, students and visitors, it is important to review these expectations and procedures before moving forward with any event.

Communications/Documents for COVID-19 Building Safety Team:
Each school is required to have a COVID-19 Safety Team. Once the safety team has been assembled by the building administrator, a copy of the organization’s chart with the names written in should be loaded onto the DLT Teams Site under COVID-19 Supervisor/COVID-19 Org Charts. Please add your building name to the beginning of the document when saving. This channel will be used as the primary communication and document storage location. This can also be a place where questions are posed for the group, ideas can be shared, and discussions can take place to provide a thoughtful exchange among all leading the safety plans.

This plan is reviewed by the following departments, committees and legal counsel prior to adoption or update:

• Lake Washington School District - Risk and Safety Services Department
• Lake Washington School District - Health Services
• Lake Washington School District - Emergency Operations Center Staff
• Lake Washington School District - Health and Safety Workgroup
• Washington School Management Pool - Attorney Panel for COVID-19
