possibility,” she said.
One of the most con-
spicuous terms in the
update is “Comprehen-
sive Distance Learn-
ing” (CDL), a pub-
lic
health-conscious
approach to education
which the Oregon De-
partment of Education
(ODE) defines as in-
cluding the core values
of care, connection and
continuity of learning.
“When we’re in Com-
prehensive
Distance
Learning, that means
that all students are at
home receiving instruc-
tions — mostly online,”
said Curtis. “But for the
students that don’t have
access to online, we’re
using some of the other
methods that we used in
the spring for distance
learning.”
Spring methods in-
cluded solutions such
as phone calls and the
distribution of packets,
though Curtis pointed
out that there is a signif-
icant difference between
CDL and methods used
when schools were still
adapting to a rapidly
shifting public health
environment.
“In terms of teaching,
kids will be getting new
lessons and they will be
making progress on the
grade-level
standards
for the new grade-lev-
el year,” she said. “The
teachers are really fo-
cused on high-quality,
rigorous, moving-for-
ward learning. In the
spring, we were told to
mostly focus on care
and connection and to
not worry about for-
ward progress. But this
is a completely different
message.”
In developing high

standards for distance
learning, teachers have
many tools at their dis-
posal with the help of a
digital learning manage-
ment system. Still, cur-
ricula have yet to be pro-
duced and the district’s
planning team is looking
into how to create con-
tent.
“A lot of the con-
tent can be pulled from
online, so it’s not like
they’re creating every
single thing, but it’s chal-
lenging,” said Curtis.
The district’s planning
team of more than 70
people is mostly made
up of teachers and in-
cludes members of the
South Lane Education
Association
(SLEA),
which represents the
certified employees of
SLSD.
“Right now, it’s very
collaborative,”
said
Curtis. “We’re all in
agreement with how
we should roll out. Of
course, there are still lots
of questions.”
So far, responses to
the new plans have been
positive.
“Teachers recognize
the safety risks but we
also want to do every-
thing possible to sup-
port our students,” read
a statement from SLEA.
“We are actively plan-
ning and discussing the
best course of action and
paying attention to the
data.”

health conditions allow.
While the district
awaits clarification on
what exactly CDL will
look like, Governor Kate
Brown released new state
and county metrics on
Tuesday to guide school
district decisions about
when it is safe to resume
in-person instruction.
“The metrics released
today will give our public
schools, private schools
and communities the
opportunity to make
sound decisions based
on the latest science and
health data,” said Gov.
Brown in a press release.

The school district’s
current timeline returns
teachers to work on Sept.
1 to begin preparation
under the CDL model.
Staff will then connect
with families and take
feedback while offering
support to ensure stu-
dents’ return to school is
relatively seamless.
“We realize that there’s
a huge spread in whether
parents are going to have
time, if kids have ac-
cess and if they can even
manage it depending on
their work and home life
schedule,” said Curtis.
“We know there are just
a number of challenges
for families.”
All students are sched-
uled to start classes un-
der the new CDL format
on Sept. 21.
Following this initial
opening and when con-
ditions allow, the district
is also looking at getting
students physically back
in the buildings in a
staggered return.
If all goes according to
plan, students will slow-
ly return to school build-
ings in small groups
either on a schedule of
Monday and Tuesday
or Thursday and Fri-
day. Wednesdays will be
reserved as a distance
learning day for all stu-
dents, but with multiple
opportunities for con-
nections and supports.
Tentative plans put
this return as early as
