Operating schools during COVID-19: CDC's Considerations

Updated Dec. 3, 2020COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Infected people have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness.Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:Fever or chillsCoughShortness of breath or difficulty breathingFatigueMuscle or body achesHeadacheNew loss of taste or smellSore throatCongestion or runny noseNausea or vomitingDiarrheaLook for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:Trouble breathingPersistent pain or pressure in the chestNew confusionInability to wake or stay awakeBluish lips or faceConsiderations for schoolsAs communities in the United States consider how to safely re-open K-12 school buildings and in-person services, CDC offers updated considerations for mitigation strategies that K-12 school administrators can use to help protect students, teachers, and staff and slow the spread of COVID-19.  These updated Considerations for Schools are intended to aid school administrators as they consider how to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of students, teachers, staff, their families, and communities:Promoting behaviors that reduce COVID-19’s spreadMaintaining healthy environmentsMaintaining healthy operationsPreparing for when someone gets sickSchools should determine, in collaboration with state and local health officials to the extent possible, whether and how to implement each of these considerations while adjusting to meet the unique needs and circumstances of the local community. Implementation should be guided by what is feasible, practical, acceptable, and tailored to the needs of each community. It is also critically important to develop strategies that can be revised and adapted depending on the level of viral transmission in the school and throughout the community and done with close communication with state and/or local public health authorities and recognizing the differences between school districts, including urban, suburban, and rural districts. These considerations are meant to supplement—not replace—any Federal, state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations with which schools must comply (e.g., Individuals with Disabilities Education Actexternal icon).School-based health facilities may refer to CDC’s Guidance for U.S. Healthcare Facilities and may find it helpful to reference the Ten Ways Healthcare Systems Can Operate Effectively During the COVID-19 Pandemic.More information for schoolsAfter reviewing the suggestions listed on this page, school administrators can use CDC’s School Considerations: Readiness and Action Planning Toolpdf icon to protect students, staff and communities.School-based health facilities may refer to CDC’s Guidance for U.S. Healthcare Facilities and may find it helpful to reference the Ten Ways Healthcare Systems Can Operate Effectively During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

LeBron James opening job training and financial literacy center in Ohio

By Terry Shropshire | December 16, 2020LeBron James, a perennial NBA superstar and social activist, is adding to his impressive philanthropic portfolio with the opening of a job training and financial center in his Akron, Ohio, hometown.Despite James‘ worldly exploits, he has remained fiercely loyal to Akron, a 40-mile drive south of where he entered the NBA as a teen prodigy for the Cleveland Cavaliers.The LeBron James Family Foundation announced he is opening a 60,000-square-foot venue called House Three Thirty, which will provide financial literacy advice, job training and recreational activities for area youth, Time magazine reports.The number “330” is the area code for the city of 200,000 residents. Once dubbed the “Rubber Capital of the World,” Akron has continued to experience pains during its transition from being the epicenter for tire manufacturing and home to Goodyear, Goodrich and Firestone. James hopes this will help expedite the process.House Three Thirty is expected to be up and running in 2022 and will feature amenities such as a dining space, coffee bar and private card room. The hub will join other major endeavors LBJ has started in Akron, including most prominently his I Promise School in 2018 and his I Promise Village transitional family housing in 2019.According to Time, House Three Thirty, which is open to anyone in Akron, will provide hands-on job training in sectors such as plumbing, heating and cooling, food service, merchandising, accounting and event planning.“House 330 is going to be a sanctuary for our families,” James said, according to Time. “It’s going to be a place where all our families can grow and learn. This will be a hub for everything possible our families will need.”Interestingly, the concept for House Three Thirty began organically as the James foundation’s executive director, Michele Campbell, began responding to I Promise Village residents’ complaints and needs.“It really started, much like everything we do, from the ground up,” Campbell said. “You have more intimate relationship when you have people living in your building 24/7. We started listening to some of the struggles with employment and job training and really digging deeper with our families. So we learned pretty quickly that the next part of the movement, if you’re to going to change the trajectory of a whole community, was we need that job-training piece.”

LIST OF COLLEGE SUMMER PROGRAMS BY STATE

SAT / ACT Prep Online Guides and Tips137 Pre-College Summer Programs for High School StudentsPosted by Justin Berkman | Jan 19, 2020 6:43:00 PMEXTRACURRICULARS Summer programs provide high school students with opportunities to explore their academic interests and spark new passions. They also allow high school students to get a taste of college life and meet other students from all over the world.In this article, I\\\'ll provide a list of 137 colleges throughout the United States that host summer programs for high school students. Furthermore, I\\\'ll give you information about what pre-college summer programs are like and how you can select the right program for you. What Is a Pre-College Summer Program?A pre-college summer program offers high school students the opportunity to take classes at a college and experience college life during the summer. Most programs range from one to seven weeks long.You can take programs that focus on a number of diverse subjects, such as writing, leadership, entrepreneurship, and engineering. Many summer programs offer both residential and commuter options. Students can stay in dorms with their peers or commute from home if they live close to campus.In addition, not only are students able to take classes from college professors or visiting scholars, but they\\\'re also able to listen to lectures from alumni and participate in social activities. Many selective private colleges, including Stanford, Harvard, and Columbia, offer pre-college summer programs for high school students.Some pre-college summer programs are open enrollment (anyone can attend), while others require admission through an application process. The selective programs typically require teacher recommendations, application essays, and standardized test scores. Check a specific program\\\'s website for its admission requirements.While these programs can be fun and educational, most of them are expensive. There are some free programs and many programs that offer financial aid for qualified students, but summer programs often cost thousands of dollars. Pictures of Money/Flickr How Did I Create This List of College Summer Programs for High School Students?To make the following list of summer programs for high school students, I relied on information from Summer Program Finder, which helps locate various summer programs. I looked up the programs in each region of the country and listed the colleges that host programs.In addition to the listed programs, there are summer programs for high school students that are not housed at colleges.Because programs are always evolving, note that there might be programs at colleges that aren\\\'t listed below. That said, you can always look at a specific college\\\'s website to see whether it offers summer programs for high school students. Want to build the best possible college application?We can help. PrepScholar Admissions is the world\\\'s best admissions consulting service.

You can check out our post on whether you should do a pre-college summer program for a detailed explanation of the pros and cons.On the plus side, summer programs can provide you with a good opportunity to explore your academic interests or take a class in a subject that\\\'s not offered at your high school. Also, you can make friends, experience a taste of college life, and get a better idea of whether or not you want to attend a specific school.On the negative side, most college summer programs for high school students are expensive, and they might not provide much help with getting into college (unless it\\\'s a highly selective program that\\\'s offered at no or minimal cost). Do your research, and if a program is something you can afford and would likely enjoy, go for it! It might stimulate your academic and personal growth, and can help you clarify your future goals.If you know for sure that you want to do a pre-college summer program, there are a number of factors to consider to help you select the right program for you.The location of the program is an extremely important consideration for many students. If you have a dream school or a college you\\\'re strongly considering, you might want to do a program on that school\\\'s campus to get a better feel for the college and to demonstrate your interest in it. You might also want to save money by going to a program close to home, or perhaps you\\\'d like to be able to spend a few weeks living in a big city, such as New York or Boston.Additionally, be sure to select a program that\\\'s in line with your interests. If you have a passion for creative writing, then you can cultivate that passion in a writing program. If you\\\'re fascinated by business, you can hone your business skills in an entrepreneurship program.Finally, you might need to consider the cost and length of the program. If you have a limited budget, you\\\'ll likely have to focus your search on cheaper programs that you can actually afford. If you have other obligations or activities you\\\'re hoping to do during the summer, you might want to choose a shorter program.You can use this list and the Summer Program Finder to identify programs that match what you\\\'re looking for. Good luck! What\\\'s Next?Thinking of becoming a doctor? Maybe you\\\'ll be interested in doing a medical summer program.If you want to explore your interests during the summer without leaving home or paying to attend a summer program, perhaps you can get an internship.Are you interested in other ideas for summer activities? Learn more about what you can do during the summer. Want to improve your SAT score by 160 points or your ACT score by 4 points? We\\\'ve written a guide for each test about the top 5 strategies you must be using to have a shot at improving your score.
