What are CPS’s travel policies?

The purpose of CPS travel policies is to minimize the likelihood that individuals who have potentially been exposed to COVID will enter CPS buildings. Therefore, travel policies may change periodically in response to changes in vaccination rates and infection rates in other communities.
Due to high community vaccination rates and relatively low infection rates, travel within New England and New York State is allowed with no special precautions regardless of vaccination status. For domestic travel outside of New England and New York State, fully vaccinated individuals must self-monitor symptoms for 14 days and unvaccinated/partially vaccinated individuals must quarantine for 7 consecutive days, get tested with a viral (PCR) test 3-5 days after travel, and can return to school on Day 8 with proof of negative test. For international travel, vaccinated individuals must self-monitor for symptoms and get tested on day 3-5 upon return. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals who travel internationally must quarantine for 7 days, get tested with a viral (PCR) test 3-5 days after travel, and may return on the 8th day after returning home from travel with a negative test.
FYI: Changes to COVID-19 Manual: CPS has updated the COVID-19 Safety, Health and Facilities Manual to clarify travel policies, protocols regarding the use of science equipment, expectations for mealtime, and that students are allowed to sit in a circle and student desks may be arranged in groupings - facing one another - as long as they are all wearing masks.
Looking for Halal options on the CPS lunch menu? The Food and Nutrition Services department offers Halal options on the monthly lunch menu. The offering of Halal options is a joint effort spearheaded by CPS and Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui. We are still waiting to expand our beef offerings once we have secured a supplier.
