Feel free to share! Thank you. 00:43:39 Sandy Nation: Good morning! Sandy Nation, Dakota County 00:44:53 Deb Reiman: Thanks! 00:44:56 damos: Darniece Amos, DHHS 00:50:45 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: How do you edit your information on the list? 00:51:25 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: I have two child cares that need to edit their information on the referral list. 00:52:44 bmedinger: There is a newly operating provider portal that providers can go to and update their information. I will see that Mary Pinker can send out that info. with these notes. 00:53:56 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Do we have any idea abut the capacity needs. I am wondering about childcare capacity as it relates to COVID reopening of businesses and potential changes in school. 00:54:11 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Family Impact? 00:54:19 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: If we have new licensed child cares that open, can we add them to the list in the future? 00:54:52 Elci Warnell: Previously, we had heard about funding that would be provided for Community Response based on Playbook needs from the CARES ACT, are these Child Care Provider grants the same ? 00:55:15 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Thank You. 00:58:05 Brenda Weyers: https://www.nebraskachildren.org/childcare-providers-frequently-asked-questions.html 00:58:36 Brenda Weyers: There is also support@nechildcarereferral.org for support questions about the website. 00:59:02 bmedinger: Thanks Brenda! 00:59:09 Elci Warnell: Thank you 01:02:22 nicole vint: Nicole.vint@nebraska.gov 01:02:26 Nebraska Children: For the fan program if there are providers that would like to participate, e-mail DHHS.LIHEAPPolicyQuestions@nebraska.gov. There is a list of current providers posted on the public website, if you would like to refer a household for a fan. Households do have to have an active LIHEAP case to be eligible. 01:04:23 TBichlmeier: I was told our local partner in the past will not be working with HHS to distribute the fans (Columbus). They were listed on the web site when I looked (Central Nebr. Community Action). Is there a new partner for our area? thanks 01:06:00 Anne Herman: https://www.launchne.com/ 01:06:02 Lane Carr: https://www.education.ne.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/NDE-Commissioner-of-Education-Statement.pdf 01:10:45 bmedinger: Link for child care providers to register and update their information on the website (provider portal) https://www.nechildcarereferral.org/register 01:13:01 Elci Warnell: Have any deadlines been given to the school districts on when they have to make the final decision on fall classes? 01:13:21 gay mctate: have you been able to involve parent representatives or young people in making the plans 01:15:04 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: I am hearing from parents they just want to know what the plan is. There is such diverse opinions on what is best. Again driven by the equity lens. 01:18:19 Lane Carr: CARES Act Priorities:
1) Technology infrastructure and device access
2) Planning supports for fall (planning for scenarios)
3) Professional development for inclusive remote classrooms
4) Nutritional supports for students
5) Social-emotional, mental, and behavioral health supports 01:19:49 Elci Warnell: I agree with LeeAnn, if there could be outlines for what feasible options the school districts are looking into and then parents can comment. There is a lot of social media rumors which is stirring up strong emotions. It may help to have an official message to reassure families about the fall 01:21:54 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: Or health department areas? 01:24:06 Anna Bromberg: Lincoln Pub Schools sent out a survey this morning to parents asking what form school may take in the fall. https://journalstar.com/news/local/education/lps-considering-several-staggered-school-schedules-for-fall-want-parents-opinions/article_52358f8a-87bd-5618-b7f0-94df732c405c.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1 01:24:38 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Good Info.. I have to run to next zoom meeting. 01:25:30 Anna Bromberg: No, it was emailed to parents 01:26:00 Elci Warnell: Would it make sense for each district to have a forum to take questions and concerns and the connect with NDE with what those are? I think its important to remember that information should tailored to be grade level specific (elementary concerns are different than High School) 01:26:41 Elci Warnell: Yes, the scenario for returning 01:26:46 Amy Encinger: My children go to LPS and I can share the questions/info from the survey if you would like. 01:28:05 Sandy Nation: Sorry, I have to go. The sky is falling! 01:28:27 Sandy Nation: Well, not really. It just seems like it. Stay safe and healthy. 01:30:25 aharroun: Need to jump on another zoom call. Thank you for all the great information. Take care all. 01:31:05 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: I think a survey or forums would be a good start for getting parents involved. 01:32:28 Nikia Gunn-Abdulai: I have another meeting starting. This was a great call with helpful information, take care everyone. 01:40:03 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: I do think that since parents are starting to hear about the plans that colleges and universities are implementing, they are starting to wonder what local plans are. 01:44:10 TBichlmeier: I will need to get going here in just a bit. Our conversation so far with local schools has been helping with some resources for keeping kids engaged during the summer and don't know much of their plans at this time for August. Heard our local ESU working at getting needed supplies for schools. Wondering if the schools messaging systems can be used to drive people to schools' web site to answer a survey. Will share what Lincoln has done with our districts. 01:49:05 gay mctate: Whatever plan a school district chooses- it is likely to be hard for some families to manage- will their be school social worker or referrals to community agencies to help these families 01:49:39 Jessica McGinley - Valentine: I also don't know what the guidelines or recommendations are for schools, but maybe if parents knew about the flexibility of plans needs to be. For instance, plan to start, but if there is a rise in state or local cases then what will be the plan? 01:51:22 Elci Warnell: If virtual learning is the way that we go, it may be helpful to have a best practices for parents, especially for parents with multiple children and/or grade levels. maybe even setting up parent support groups to have some peer support and help 01:54:40 Schalisha W: I have to get to another meeting. Here is the update from Project Everlast Omaha: We are working with schools to be sure that we are still connecting with young people so they don't fall through the cracks if we are still virtual when school starts we have meetings set up with schools to stay in the loop and up to date with referral processes 01:56:24 wanda fedorchik: Wanda Fedorchik, Buffalo County Community Response Team Central Navigator; I also think a survey or forum would be a good start. Kearney Public Schools sent out a survey at the end of the year to get feedback about the remote learning that occurred to finish the school year, so I would imagine they will use this feedback to help with planning for the new school year. I also agree that getting information out to parents/caregivers soon with potential scenarios of how school may look would be good. 01:59:22 Lane Carr: I have to jet to another meeting. Thanks so much for your feedback and ideas! Reach out to me at lane.carr@nebraska.gov if you have additional thoughts or ideas. 02:01:36 Anne Herman: Thank you to everyone who shared ideas!
