Operative words

Correct use of masks required by all students, staff, contractors, visitors, parents and volunteers when inside school buildings; masks are optional when outdoors... Required 'return to work' saliva testing prior to initial reporting in August and September... For the start of 2021-2022 school year, masks will be required for all students and adults inside school buildings.... All staff, regardless of vaccine status, will be required to test every week... All employees are required to complete the symptom check.

Enforcement

District employment and access rules; the district states it will 'comply with other orders or requirements by local health officials'

Notes

A public school district is a governmental authority; the plan's mask and testing rules bound every contractor and vendor entering a DPSCD building in Q3 2021. Level recorded as 'city' (school district within Detroit).

Retrieval note

Board approval date not shown in the plan; the plan is the district's published operating rule.
