Moving forward, we will look primarily at the number/percentage of Germantown students and staff whose attendance at school is impacted by COVID-19 to determine whether we can continue with In-Person Learning or need to transition to the Hybrid Model or Remote Learning.  We have set the threshold at 10%.  What that means is that if our absentee rate hits 10% or higher over the span of 10 school days or roughly two weeks, we will be forced to make adjustments to our learning environment.  At Germantown, 10% of our population equals 24 students and 4 staff members.  A single day with 24 students and 4 staff members absent would not automatically trigger an adjustment.  It would take multiple days at or above the 10% threshold to make that happen.  Extenuating circumstances, such as the school cannot be adequately staffed due to numerous personnel on quarantine, could trigger an immediate change in plans.
