Review School Enrollment Family Support Center Re-Opening Plan
We support families who need help with school enrollment. We want to re-open our Family Support Center after being closed due to COVID-19 and ensure all compliance so that everyone is protected.
Posted July 27, 2020
Background & Context
Our organization aims to support Oakland families who have been historically underserved throughout the enrollment process. Whether because of a technology barrier or language access, Oakland Enrolls is here to support families who need to explore their public school options ahead of the new school year.
To do this best, we aim to re-open our Family Support Center after being closed since the Alameda County shelter-in-place order began in March. We want to ensure all compliance so that Oakland families and Oakland Enrolls' staff are protected.
Immediate Problem
By having a safe reopening plan, our staff will be able to reopen our Family Support Center and serve Oakland families in-person as they aim to enroll in school for the fall.
Work & Deliverables
- Review of Alameda County and other pertinent legal requirements for office reopening
- Review of the Alameda County template we filled out
- Assistance in creating a site-specific plan that serves as addendum to the county template
- Assistance in creating a training presentation for staff
- A call with Executive Director and Office Coordinator if needed for context/questions
