Agenda Item Summary:
The purpose of this brief is to specifically highlight the process and safety measures that will be implemented during the PreK-12 lunch process. As we return to In-Person Learning, ACPS students will be offered breakfast and lunch at no charge.  
Background:
ACPS is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our staff and students throughout the entire school day, including lunchtime, when students will not be able to wear masks while eating. We are committed to implementing health and safety protocols to ensure that all students and staff are safe during the lunch blocks of time. These protocols for Pre-K-12 schools include:
- Students will be required to wear masks in the cafeteria when not actively eating and drinking.
- Students will need to wear their masks while going to, through, and from the serving line.
- Students will put their masks back on when they finish their meal.
- Cafeteria spaces will be regularly and thoroughly cleaned with a sanitizing solution.
- Students will be assigned tables and/or seats (student podding) in the cafeteria.
- Students will be required to sign in at their assigned table for contact tracing purposes.
- Students will wash their hands before and after lunch.
- Cafeterias will have limited student capacity.
- Air purifiers will be operational in all school cafeterias.
