Return to Campus Plan

Fully restoring campus operations will require patience, careful consideration and deliberate implementation. As the situation is still fluid, some of these details may change. We will update this page accordingly.

Return to Campus Plan — Released May 20, 2020

During this period of uncertainty, it is the intent of Johnson County Community College to protect the safety of all of our students, employees and visitors. Toward that end we are releasing our initial Return to Campus Plan and related Guidelines.

Objectives

Protect the health and safety of the campus community
Resume on-campus instructional, student support and administrative services
Appropriate resumption of additional on-campus activities

Values-driven Guiding Principles

Integrity: Fully adhere to Federal, State and County guidance
Collaboration: Institution and department plans and timelines must be flexible
Responsiveness: Transitions between steps must be coordinated and will be dependent upon access to protective supplies and materials
Leadership: Clear communication to students, faculty, staff and community is essential

Phased Reopening Steps

The active step is displayed with a white background. Inactive steps are displayed with a grey background.

STEP	DEFINITION	DATES
	Kansas Essential Function Framework (KEFF) exception allowances — most will be tied to training and certification expectations	CURRENT STEP
	Begin transitioning remote workforce back to campus based on function	No earlier than June 1, 2020
	Introduction of students not included in Kansas Essential Function Framework (KEFF) exceptions to campus based on function	No earlier than June 22, 2020
	Reintroduction of remaining campus activities	Timing TBD

Duration of steps

Proceeding to the next step will depend on meeting the applicable gating criteria, as defined above, including the impacts on the spread of the virus, impacts on vulnerable populations, and hospital capacities.

Specifically, these must occur before proceeding to the next step:

Downward trajectory of documented cases within a 14-day period OR
Downward trajectory of positive tests as a percent of total tests within a 14-day period (flat or increasing volume of tests)

Given what we currently know about the virus, we will begin monitoring the impacts of rollback in each phase after 14 days. For more information, please email IncidentResponseTeam@jccc.edu

Employee and Student Phased Approach

The active step is displayed with a white background. Inactive steps are displayed with a grey background.

STEP	EMPLOYEES	STUDENTS
	Employees performing essential framework related activities are working on campus; all other employees will continue working remotely.	Only those students taking essential workforce training are allowed on campus.
	Additional employees will return to campus as departmental plans are approved by IRT so that they may prepare for opening the campus to students.	Only those students taking essential workforce training are allowed on campus.
	Remote work may occur as part of each department’s plan to meet the College’s needs and comply with County and State guidelines.	Students begin returning to campus (i.e., students requiring face-to-face support are allowed back on campus by appointment) while minimizing walk-in traffic.
	Standard employee operations have resumed. Vulnerable employees continue to work with HR to request accommodations.	Students are welcomed back in a reduced capacity in adherence with County and State guidelines.
