Earlier this week, on Oct. 5, Dr. Horton provided an update on the District’s plan to return to in-person learning. Because of staffing considerations and building capacities, he said, it is necessary to phase-in the return of students whose families requested in-person learning. In the first phase, he said, students in pre-K to grade 5 with three or more of the five “priority factors” will be brought back for in-person learning.
The five factors are:
Special Education - Does the student have an IEP or 504 Plan?
Emerging Bilingual (EB) - Is the student an Emergent Bilingual?
Low Income: Is the student eligible for free or reduced price meals?
McKinney Vento: Is the student currently experiencing transitional living?
Age: Is the student in early childhood (0-5 years old), K, 1st grade, or 2nd grade?
Under the plan, all middle school students will continue with remote learning at this time. The goal is to bring back every child for in-person learning this school year whose family indicated a preference for in-person learning, said Dr. Horton.

Seems to be a practical way to prioritize. Don’t see anything about skin color in those five factors ... now, how this is executed could be a different story. If this is a title 1 school the odds are there are far more students who meet 3 of these 5 criteria than can be accommodated initially.
