ii | P a g eCOVID 19 POLICY
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
There are various types of Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) used in the prevention of COVID 19.
Some of the PPE used in a school/educational setting are:
• eye protection
• gowns
• facemasks
• N95 Respirators
• hair coverings
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be required on all New Beginnings High School campuses to
reduce the risk of transmission of COVID 19 and better ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all
faculty and staff.
MASKS AND GLOVES
Face masks will be required for the 2021–2022 school year.
In private spaces such as an individual office, your facial covering may be removed if you are alone.
These guidelines are consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), which makes clear that facial coverings and social distancing are among the most effective
measures for limiting the spread of COVID 19.
Mask Exceptions
• Any employee with a medical condition that makes the wearing of a face covering a risk to their
health.
• When staff are performing tasks that cannot be completed while wearing a face covering (i.e.
eating, drinking, etc.).
• When employees are unable to remove their own mask. (This refers only to physically disabled
employees).
Non-Compliance Consequences
For unauthorized removal of face coverings may include training, referral to counseling and/or
disciplinary action such as warning, reprimand, withholding of a promotion or pay increase,
reassignment, temporary suspension without pay or termination, as the organization believes appropriate
under all of the circumstances.
All warnings, reprimands, etc., will be documented with the school’s Director of Academic Affairs
(DAA)/ Pilot Director, Principal and the People Department.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
At no point should a staff member be within six (6) feet of each other (per CDC guidelines) for more
than 15 minutes at a time.
1|PageWhile on NBHS campuses and in administrative offices, staff are required remain at least six (6) to six
(6) feet apart when feasible or as recommended by the CDC. This will be expected in classrooms, school
bus and, common areas and offices.
COMMON SPACES
NBHS staff will clean and disinfect all areas such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, commonly
touched surfaces, and shared electronic equipment as needed.
HALLWAYS
As an added precaution, all NBHS campuses will designate certain hallways as one-way, using symbols,
markings or signs depending on the width of the corridors. Additional signage maybe placed on walls
for visual referencing. Campuses must limit nonessential movement.
CAMPUS ENTRANCE AND EXIT
All NBHS campuses will have one entrance for employees and students. The school is limiting facility
access to essential faculty and staff who are employed. Identification badges/cards will be required for
all employees upon entry. The employee must display their ID at all times. NBHS ID badges/cards may
be obtained at the front office.
Winter Haven employees only: Staff at the Winter Haven campus will need to have both Bay Care and
NBHS IDs.
TEMPERATURE CHECKS
Temperature checks will be conducted with a thermometer. If you have a fever 100.4° F or greater (per
CDC), you will not be admitted into the building.
ILLNESS POLICY
Using the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) Coronavirus Self-Checker, people with COVID 19 have
had a wide range of symptoms ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-
14 days after exposure to the virus.

10 | P a g eILLNESS PROCEDURES
Isolation and Mitigating Possible COVID 19 Cases
NBHS has mandated a multi-step process for isolating and mitigating possible COVID 19 cases on
campus:
1. Any staff reporting feeling symptoms should have an immediate temperature check to see if they
have a fever.
2. Campuses must immediately separate any employee who displays COVID 19 symptoms.
3. To protect staff, campuses will close off any room(s)/space that the ill employee occupied.
4. All areas used by the individual showing COVID 19 symptoms or test positive should be cleaned
and sanitized by the custodial service team.
5. During that time, the room(s)/space is not to be used by any person until properly sanitized and
disinfected.
Containment
Anyone assisting an employee who is ill while at work or answers YES to any of the screening questions
must wear appropriate PPE.
1. Ask the employee to place on a mask if one is not already warn.
2. Relocate individual to a designated “isolation” room where minimal contact with others is possible
but where the individual can still be observed.
3. Advise the employee to go home and suggest contacting their medical provider.
4. Clean the area where individual has been in the building as trained
Reporting
In the event of a possible exposure, all staff will be required to self-report using the COVID 19 Self-
Reporting Form on the NBHS website.
Email notification will be sent within 24 hours from the People Department to any employee with
possible COVID 19 exposure. Exposure is defined as being within 6 feet of someone for at least 15
minutes, who is showing symptoms or has tested positive for COVID 19.
COVID 19 Reporting
There are different steps to take depending whether the person identified as ill, symptomatic or not. This
distinction also impacts the steps needed for anyone who had contact with that individual.
Employees who have been exposed to or tested positive to COVID 19 must do the following.
1. Notify your direct supervisor.
2. Access and complete the COIVD 19 Self-Reporting Form.
Re-Entry Procedures
If an employee answers YES to any of the NBHS COVID 19 self-reporting questions, they may not
return to work/school.
The individual may return to work when one of the five following statements is true. No exceptions will
be made:
11 | P a g e1. A health care provider has confirmed in writing that the illness was NOT COVID 19-related because
of an alternative diagnosis. **Other viral illnesses, upper respiratory infections, pneumonia do not
exclude COVID 19 and are not adequate to authorize return.
2. The individual had a positive test and isolated for ten days plus twenty-four hours after having no
signs or symptoms (including fever). If this happens, then these steps should be taken:
a. Identify those who have been in close contact (within 6ft for 15 minutes or longer) within the
past two days. School-specific staff/administration are responsible for this step.
b. These contacts should quarantine for fourteen days from their last exposure to the individual
whether they wore a mask or not.
c. Any testing would not change the length of quarantine, so random testing is not recommended,
and a negative test is not adequate to authorize return.
3. The individual has had two negative tests, at least twenty-four hours apart, since symptoms began
AND has been well for twenty-four hours.
4. The individual has isolated for ten days plus twenty-four hours after having no symptoms, regardless
of testing status (positive, negative, or none at all).
5. Non symptomatic individuals can provide evidence of fully vaccination status results.
BUS
Students will be expected to arrive at the bus stop wearing masks. Masks must also be worn by
all students on NBHS buses. Students are encouraged not to gather together and to practice
social distancing to the maximum extent possible at bus stops.
NBHS BUSES
Students will be assigned seating for morning and afternoon bus routes. Seats will be adjusted to
improve social distancing and to allow rear-to-front loading and front-to-rear unloading for runs.
Signage will be used to encourage healthy hygiene practices:
1. Before students can enter the bus, students will have their temperature taken by the bus
driver. If a student has a temperature above 100.4F°, the student will not be allowed to
enter the bus. Students under 17 years of age will have their parents notified if the student
has a temperature.
2. Upon entering the bus student must have a face mask on. Please see the Student
Handbook for proper and allowable face masks. Students’ parents will be notified if the
student does not have proper PPE safety gear, and the student will not be able to enter the
bus.
3. Staggered entrance of the bus will be practiced. Students will enter and start seating from
the back to keep students from having to pass each other and practice social distancing.
4. Students must sit in their assigned seat upon entering the bus. There will be an “X
“marked in the seat for the designated location they should sit. Students must remain in
designated seats and practice social distancing while on the bus.
5. Windows will be down to help with air flow on the bus. Students are not to hang their
hand outside of the windows or throw any objects. Standard rules for bus passengers will
be applied listed in the Student Handbook.
6. When arriving on campus students will remain in seats until the bus driver instructs the
students to exit the bus. School buses will be disinfected at the end of the morning and afternoon routes.
Drivers will clean contact surfaces using approved soap and water disinfectant solutions, micro-fiber
12 | P a g ecloths, and paper towels. A garbage can will be available on each bus for disposal of paper products.
Garbage will be emptied at the end of each bus service.
FLEET VEHICLE CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Do
• Sanitize frequently touched vehicle surfaces on a regular basis.
• Be mindful of the cleaning/disinfecting agents used on vehicles to avoid inadvertently damaging the
interior or exterior.
• Many of the same household cleaners (such as non-bleach, unscented, non-chlorinated disinfectant
cleaners and wipes) that kill COVID 19 on hard surfaces at home can also clean most car interiors
without causing damage.
• Alcohol solutions that contain at least 70% isopropyl alcohol are effective against COVID 19,
according to the CDC. Nearly every interior surface of a vehicle can be cleaned with isopropyl
alcohol.
• Vigorous washing with soap and water can also destroy COVID 19. Soap and water are safe for
most car interiors. Be careful not to saturate the surfaces.
• Consult the cleaning directions provided in the Vehicle Owners’ Manual.
• Follow the cleaning agent manufacturer’s product label guidance for the recommended disinfecting
procedure, as guidance varies by cleaning product. Read all instructions and precautions of the
materials being utilized and follow all safety recommendations when utilizing cleaning products to
ensure personal safety.
• When using wipes, remove excess liquid before wiping surfaces, especially electrical components
and touch screens.
• Test selected cleaning agent in an inconspicuous location.
Avoid
• Don’t use bleach or hydrogen peroxide on the inside of your car.
• Don’t use scented wipes or wipes containing bleach.
• Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners on car touch screens or dashboards, as they can damage anti-
glare and anti-fingerprint coatings.
• Never combine cleaning chemicals as doing so may lead to toxicity.
Vehicle High Touch Areas
• Car keys and fobs
• Door handles, door latches and lock buttons
• Steering wheel
• Shift lever
• Any buttons or touch screens (radios, mirror adjusters, climate controls, etc.)
• Wiper and turn signal stalks
• Center console and cup holders
• Driver and passenger armrests and seat belts, grab handles, and seat adjusters
• Headrests and seat pockets
Operating Suggestions
• Wash your hands before and after driving.
• Wear gloves when possible outside of your vehicle, especially when fueling. Pumps, keypads and
other surfaces are frequently touched and may not have been sanitized.
• When possible use contactless payment methods to avoid touching keypads or pens.
13 | P a g e• Consider using your knuckles rather than fingertips to touch common use contact areas. Compared
to fingertips, knuckles will generally have less contact with other things throughout the day.
• When finished driving the vehicle for the day, thoroughly wipe down the vehicle with disinfectant
wipes or other appropriate cleaning solutions.
EVACUATIONS
