This virus can spread from person-to-person and the number of confirmed cases is growing. The resources in this guide are intended to help families, caregivers and the community understand the school’s role during closure and its commitment to students and families.  \nCommunication with Families, Caregivers and the Community  \nGood communication is the foundation of successful family-school-community partnerships. This communication is even more important during a health-related outbreak. In the event of a health outbreak, families and caregivers should look to their superintendent, local health organization and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment1 (KDHE) for the most current and accurate information. The communication with families, caregivers and the larger community should be regular and not sporadic. The information should be available in languages that are understandable for the families in the community. It is critical that schools have a variety of communication strategies that reflect the types of communication preferred in the community, such as email, Facebook, Twitter, texts, news stations, newspapers, the district’s home page, etc. If families and caregivers have not received communication from their schools during a closure, they should contact their school principal or superintendent.  \nState and Local Cooperation  \nThe Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) is the state education agency charged with supporting Kansas’ 286 public school districts. In Kansas, local schools have a great amount of decision-making authority over how their schools ","cbCaiataUWOBYy8L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiataUWOBYy8L","pdf",1551635,"English","# Contents\n## About COVID-19\n## Communication with Families, Caregivers and the Community\n## Continuous Learning While at Home","[{\"question\":\"Who should families and caregivers contact for the most current COVID-19 information during school closure?\",\"answer\":\"Families and caregivers should rely on their superintendent, local health organization, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) for the most current and accurate information.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the expectations for schools during a health-related outbreak?\",\"answer\":\"Schools are expected to communicate regularly with students and families, practice routine cleaning and disinfecting, maintain open communication with local health departments, combat stigma through information sharing, and engage in contingency planning for possible extended closures.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is regular communication important between schools, families, and the community?\",\"answer\":\"Good communication underpins successful partnerships, and it becomes even more important during a health-related outbreak.
