After careful deliberation the organizing committees of A4LE events have decided that it will be in the best interest of all delegates to postpone upcoming events through May. Our number one priority is to ensure the safety and security of our members and delegates. Given the rapid escalation of the COVID – 19 (“Coronavirus”) and subsequent declarations of emergencies and health crisis concerns from local, state, provincial and federal government officials, we felt the need to take this course of action.
At this time, A4LE staff and volunteers are negotiating to find alternative dates that are suitable for postponement of events. The planning committees have promised stellar events, and we do not want to lose that momentum. We will be seeking a remedy to this that will carry all of the hard work forward, taking all events to fruition at a later date. We will continue to update on the progress.
Webinar #1

10:00 AM – 11:15 AM Mountain Time
COVID-19 Series: Colorado School Districts Return To School Plan
The A4LE Rocky Mountain Chapter is hosting a panel discussion composed of school district members who will speak to each district's re-entry plan for fall 2020. This first webinar will cover big picture planning developments like student drop off, classroom size, scheduling, and utilization of space. Panelists will discuss their own district’s plan and then we will have time for Q&A from the audience to learn more about re-entry. This is the first webinar in a three-part series. In August we will discuss how schools are planning to address indoor environmental quality, and in the fall we will hear an update on how things are going and what adjustments were needed.
Speakers:
- Wayne Blazek, Douglas County SD
- Stephanie Schroeder, Boulder Valley SD
- Denille LePlatt, Colorado Department of Education
- Amy Spatz, Aurora Public Schools
Free for members/non-members
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
