Instructional ModelAll countiesPrioritize On-Site or Hybrid (as needed to maintain small cohorts) instructional models Prioritize careful phasing in of On-Site or Hybrid for elementary schools (starting with K-3 and adding additional grades up to grade 6).

Middle school and high school primarily Comprehensive Distance Learning with allowable Limited In-Person Instruction. Over time, if elementary schools can demonstrate the ability to limit transmission in the school environment, transition to On-Site or Hybrid. 		Consider transition to Comprehensive Distance Learning with allowable Limited In-Person Instruction.

For counties with an upward case/positivity trend (entering from a lower risk category), school officials should discuss with their local public health authority (LPHA) and consider the spread of COVID-19 within schools and the local community in deciding whether to return to Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL).

Schools in counties with downward case/positivity trend must remain in CDL until they drop into the "On-Site and Distance Learning" category or lower. 		Implement Comprehensive Distance Learning with allowable Limited In-Person Instruction only.
