Take a strategic approach to uncertain times.​

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted NYS school district operations on almost every level from the immediate need for distance learning in the spring to meeting evolving disinfecting, social distancing, and other requirements to reopen in the fall.

The current conditions of a district's 
technology systems—including infrastructure, Communications, AV, and Security—will play a large part in determining how successfully these transformative challenges will be met. Explore the added demand that meeting COVID-19 restrictions may place on your district's technology systems (below).

​Our COVID19 K12 Tech Planning Kit (at right) provides a pro-active approach for
Technology Directors to assess, plan, and manage the various technology systems effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Select the graphic at right to learn more.

NYS School District Technology Systems affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic
 NYS Education Department (NYSED) released its NYS Schools Reopening Master Guidance on July 16, 2020.

The expandable tabs below include many
Master Guidance requirements that affect existing technology systems including core infrastructure (cable, pathways, spaces) and network connectivity. Other systems probably not in use like space planning software and thermal imaging are also included for school district Technology Directors and staff to consider for future planning. Refer to the Master Guidance source document for complete information.

The Affected Technology Systems and Effects on These Systems information is based on Archi-Technology's extensive experience working with upstate NY school districts for technology planning, project management, and documentation services. You can view a PDF with the complete list or use the expandable tabs below to learn about affected Technology Systems via each NYS Guidance category.

This information is provided to help NYS school districts develop their reopening plans to meet NYSED and community requirements based on local conditions.
I. PEOPLE
​
A. Social Distancing and Face Covering
Social Distancing​
Required: Must ensure 6’ of space in all directions between individuals or use of appropriate physical barriers between individuals that do not adversely affect air flow, heating, cooling, or ventilation.
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Space planning software may become a bigger player in the K12 market to facilitate classroom and school space design that meets all social distancing requirements.
  • Instructional Technology (projectors, whiteboards) will be involved for split classrooms (i.e., 2 classrooms side-by-side w/50% of students in a typical class in each room).
  • Digital signage can reinforce mask wearing and social distancing.
  • Student/staff/parent and Community Connections can educate and reinforce at community level especially parents and families.
Face Coverings
Required: Any time or place that individuals cannot maintain appropriate social distancing, individuals must wear acceptable face coverings.
Effect on District Technology System
Digital signage can reinforce mask wearing and social distancing.
Social Distancing for Certain Activities
Recommended: Should ensure 12’ in all directions is maintained between individuals while participating in activities requires projecting the voice (e.g., singing), playing a wind instrument, or aerobic activity resulting in heavy breathing (e.g., gym).
Effect on District Technology System
Space planning software can facilitate group school space design that meets these specific social distancing requirements.
Space Configurations
Recommended:
  • Strongly encouraged to: (1) Modify or reconfigure spaces and areas, and/or (2) restrict the use of classrooms and other places where students, faculty, and staff gather (e.g., lockers, hallways), so that individuals can be socially distanced, and are not sharing workstations, desks, tables, or other shared surfaces without cleaning and disinfection between use.
  • Where feasible, reduce bi-directional foot traffic using tape or signs with arrows in hallways, or spaces throughout the school, and post signage and distance markers denoting spaces of 6’ in all commonly used areas.
  • Should work to find additional or alternate space with community-based organizations and other operators of alternative spaces (e.g., local governments) to maximize capacity for in-person learning.
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Space planning software may become a bigger player in the K12 market to facilitate classroom and school space design that meets all social distancing requirements.
  • Instructional Technology (projectors, whiteboards) will be involved for split classrooms (i.e., 2 classrooms side-by-side w/50% of students in a typical class in each room).
  • Digital signage can reinforce mask wearing and social distancing.
  • Student/staff/parent and Community Connections can educate and reinforce at community level especially parents and families.
  • Devices will be affected by students and teachers needing 1:1 devices with portability for use in non-school building community spaces (e.g., libraries, rec centers, etc.).
Schedules
Recommended: Should consider staggered arrival and pick-up times to facilitate proper social distancing, and assign lockers or other student storage areas by cohort or eliminate their use.
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Master Clocks will be more important to districts that don’t have them (i.e., analog, non-IP digital) to change class schedules from one location. This is critical to meeting the mandated on again/off again model.
  • ​Student/staff/parent Connections can educate and notify about schedule changes.
Signage
Required: Must post signs throughout the school and should regularly share similar messages with the community, regarding public health protections​.
Effect on District Technology System
Digital signage can be used for both reinforcing hygiene and social distancing as well as Mass Notification.
B. Gatherings
Meals
Required: Must ensure social distancing between individuals while eating in cafeterias.​​
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Space planning software can facilitate group school space design that meets these specific social distancing requirements.
    ​CAD/Revit drawings: If fixed physical barriers are installed in cafeterias (e.g., plexiglass barriers, temporary curtaining), building drawings will need to reflect these changes.
Small Spaces
Recommended: Should limit gathering in small spaces (e.g., elevators, offices) by more than one individual at a time, unless all individuals in such space at the same time are wearing acceptable face coverings or are members of the same household​.


Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Video Conferencing software: Facilitates remote teaching, learning, and work.
  • Devices must have built-in/add-on video cameras and audio microphones for video conferencing. This should typically not be an issue for most devices purchased within the last 5 years.
  • ​Infrastructure and Network Connectivity: Extra demands placed on these systems by video conferencing apps.
Faculty and Staff Meetings
Recommended: May consider choosing to use video or teleconferencing for faculty and staff meetings and conferences to reduce the density of congregations.

Ventilation
Recommended: Should increase ventilation with outdoor air to the greatest extent possible (e.g., opening windows and doors) while maintaining health and safety protocols​.
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Work Order system w/Asset Management to document current and updated specs and status of all AH filters.
  • ​Building (HVAC) controls to automate additional run times that may be required/recommended based on use of finer-screen filters. Older HVAC systems may experience significant additional energy consumption so Energy Management software will also come into play.
Common Areas
Recommended:
  • Should take additional measures to prevent congregation in elevator waiting areas and limit density in elevators, by, for instance, enabling the use of stairs.
  • May choose to encourage social distancing by reducing access to, or closing, non-essential amenities and communal areas that do not allow for adequate social distancing protocols to be followed."
  • Should put in place practices for adequate social distancing in small areas, such as restrooms and break rooms, and should develop signage and systems (e.g., flagging when occupied) to restrict occupancy when social distancing cannot be maintained in such areas.
  • May consider staggering schedules for faculty and staff to reduce density and promote social distancing in enclosed areas (e.g., coffee breaks, meals, and shift starts/stops).​
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Digital signage to reinforce use of stairs, social distancing, and schedule changes.
  • Space planning software to meet  social distancing requirements.
  • ​Master Clock for flexible scheduling.
C. Operational Activities
Cohorts
Recommended: Recommended to cohort students to the extent practicable to limit potential exposure.
Effects on District Technology Systems
Contact Tracing systems may be used to monitor cohort exposures to other cohorts in the event a student tests positive for COVID-19.
In-Person Instruction
Recommended: Should prepare for a combination of in-person instruction and remote learning to facilitate a phased-in approach or hybrid model, which may be necessary at various times throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

  • Health Monitoring
  • ​Contact Tracing

  • Required: ​​In cases where in-person instruction is not feasible, phased-in and hybrid models of education will need to consider if certain students will be prioritized for in-person instruction first or more frequently based on educational or other needs.
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Distance Learning will be required for students that cannot be accommodated on any given day by a lack of socially distanced space.
  • Instructional Tech may be affected by a need to use certain curriculum and/or devices to meet the needs of an in-class student population with higher educational needs (e.g, those with learning disabilities, ESL).

  • Recommended: If COVID-19 cases develop, may consider restricting access within school facilities and across school grounds, particularly in affected areas to avoid full school closures.​​
Effects on District Technology Systems
  • Access Control to lock down all doors in an area where exposure is suspected.
  • Mass Notification to announce closed sections.
  • Contact Tracing to trace persons who have been in the affected areas.
  • Emergency Services to notify public health officials about the incident.

Recommended: To maximize in-person instruction, the district should consider measures that can be implemented to decrease density and congregation in school facilities and on school grounds, when possible, such as:
  • Finding alternative spaces in the community to allow for more in-person instruction.
  • Adjusting class or work hours, where appropriate and possible.
  • Limiting in-person presence to only those staff who are necessary to be at the school during normal school hours.
  • Maintaining or increasing remote workforce (e.g., administrative staff) to accommodate social distancing guidelines.
  • ​Staggering schedules and allowing more time between classes to reduce congestion in hallways, walkways, and buildings.
  • Shifting class schedules to accommodate social distancing guidelines, including cohorts (e.g., alternative class schedules, full-time in-person learning for younger students, and part-time distance learning for older students).
  • Student/staff/parent communications to inform stakeholders of classroom/school building use changes.
  • Distance Learning to reduce on-site number of students.
  • Remote Workforce to reduce on-site admin/support staff.
  • Master Clock for staggered scheduling.
D. Movement and Commerce
