The Marana Unified School District's Return to School Task Force development of a Safe & Thoughtful Return to School plan is a collaborative effort guided by MUSD's teachers and administrators, parents and employees, local and state health officials, and Arizona's Roadmap for Reopening Schools. The work of the Task Force is:
- Focused on safety and on providing families a choice for their student’s education.
- Based on guidance from the Pima County Health Department COVID-19 Progress Report and Local Recommendations , aligned with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) benchmarks, and the Arizona Department of Education Roadmap for Reopening Schools, local public health authorities, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the input of MUSD families and employees.
- Inspired by the District's Five Commitments of strong relationships, equity, collaboration, deeper learning, and innovation.
- In collaboration with parents/guardians and school-based parent organizations, Marana Education Association and teacher leaders, Marana Education Support Professionals, and employees.
- Guided by MUSD's five principles.
It is Marana Unified School District's promise that the District's Safe & Thoughtful Return to School plan is designed with the health and safety of students and employees as the top priority, and based on public health information available at the time. This plan to return to school is student-centered, focused on the social, emotional and physical health and safety of students and staff, and designed to keep students learning at a high level. The 2020-2021 school year will look different, but it’s an opportunity to chart a new course for success when it comes to education.
It is MUSD's commitment to offer every student a safe, high-quality learning experience with a focus on school connectedness while providing additional services and supports to students and families.
