In-Person Learning Waiver
FRANKLIN PHONETIC ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL
Covid-19 Waiver, Release, and Assumption of Risk Form
The Coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
Nevertheless, the Governor of State of Arizona issued Executive Orders 2020-41, 2020-44, and 2020-51 which provide that beginning August 17, 2020 charter schools are to begin free on-site learning opportunities and support services for students who need a place to go during the day and to provide on-site learning opportunities and support services including in-person support services such as student supervision and strategic support for students in need during standard school hours, which may include teacher-led or paraprofessional support for students with distance learning instruction. Franklin Phonetic Charter School (“School”) has put in place protective measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, however, the “School” cannot guarantee that your child will not become infected with COVID-19. Your child’s physical attendance at school, together with other students, inherently increases the risk that your child, you, and/or your household members will contract COVID-19, notwithstanding any precautions taken by the school.
