Source text - English DCPS HEAD START FUNDING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What were the factors that led to this loss of Head Start funding for DCPS?
[1}Due to the shifting demographics of our schools that resulted in fewer Head Start-eligible students — as well as implementing systemic changes to enhance student supervision and safety — DCPS anticipated a reduction in Head Start funding for Fiscal Year 2021 and has been planning as such.{2]
[1} Following an evaluation of our re-application process for Head Start funds, we have come to the decision to voluntarily relinquish our Head Start grant.{2]
This decision will not reduce the number of Pre-K seats at DCPS schools next school year; it allows us to better strive for exemplary programming in all of our Pre-K classrooms.
Access to high-quality, affordable childcare is a critical need for families across the district, and DCPS is proud to provide free, universal Pre-K in a school environment to ensure all of our young learners are ready for kindergarten.
Head Start grants typically last for a five-year grant period, and DCPS is at the end of the current five-year grant cycle.
Ahead of the conclusion of this grant cycle, DCPS’ Early Childhood Education Division (ECED) completed a comprehensive community needs assessment and review of services and schools to ensure that comprehensive services will be available at schools with the highest need.
DCPS will have the opportunity to apply for Head Start funding in future years.
Will the loss of Head Start funding result in staff reductions?
Yes.
DCPS anticipates that positions supported by Head Start funds will be eliminated at the end of the current school year in June.
This will include administrative staff and some paraprofessionals in the classroom.
In total, 49 paraprofessional positions will be eliminated, and 34 ECED positions will be eliminated.
Upon completion of all competitions, affected staff will be informed of their status and given the opportunity to apply for vacancies in alternate roles.
The number of Pre-K classrooms at DCPS or teachers employed will not change.
Did student safety issues account for relinquishing Head Start funding?
Head Start is a program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the agency gave DCPS only a short period of time to implement student safety considerations in order to receive grant funding for FY21.
DCPS has an unusually large Head Start model compared to other grantees since we do not differentiate between Head Start and non-Head Start Pre-K classrooms.
Student supervision and safety is a priority for DCPS, but in order to compete for Head Start funding in future years, we need additional time to make the systemic changes recommended for grantees.
With robust local investments, DCPS will not reduce the number of PreK seats next school year and will continue to provide high quality instructional programming to prepare our young learners for kindergarten.
Can you elaborate on the safety and supervision incidents in Head Start Classrooms?
In some instances, a student was left unsupervised for a period of time.
We recognized a need to reinforce supervision practices with our youngest learners and have undertaken several changes in practice in order to ensure that all PK students are appropriately supervised at all times.
These changes include training and professional development for teachers, ongoing monitoring, and the provision of additional educational aides in order to ensure that all PK classrooms are staffed with two adults at all times.
For students who are enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten 3, will this impact their enrollment for next year?
[1}No. The enrollment processes are the same for School Year 2020-2021.
{1][2}This decision will not reduce the number of Pre-K seats at DCPS schools next school year.
It allows us to better{1][2} strive for exemplary programming in all of our Pre-K classrooms.{3][4} {5]
For prospective students and parents, will anything shift for enrollment for next year?
No. The enrollment processes are the same for School Year 2020-2021.
DCPS is proud to offer universal Pre-K to any family living in the District of Columbia.
How will this impact our school’s budget?
In a school’s budget process, early childhood education is denoted with a teacher and paraprofessional per classroom.
This allocation is not shifting for the next school year.
As a part of our work to increase equity and consistency , DCPS’ central office team is currently working to develop a budget that ensures appropriate resources to all schools in order to support high-quality Pre-K across the district.
While changes in the Head Start status of your school will not directly impact your school budget, you may see a decrease in centrally-supported services (ECED instructional coaching, family services, classroom materials, etc.) if your school shifts from Head Start to non-Head Start status.
How is DCPS maintaining wraparound services for Pre-K families when Head Start funding is being eliminated?
All DCPS Pre-K families will continue to have access to the mental health supports and social work services offered through the school community.
Additionally, ECED will work to ensure that families furthest from opportunity, and those with the greatest needs, continue to receive support services as needed.
ECED seeks to connect these families to community-based providers, as appropriate, and will work closely with the DCPS School Supports Division to ensure that existing school-based mental health and social service providers are prepared to support Pre-K children and families.

Protocol Title:
A Phase 3 Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Antiviral Activity of Remdesivir (GS-5734{ut}TM{ut}) in Participants with Severe COVID-19
Protocol Number:
GS-US-540-5773
Legally authorized representatives:
“You” in this form refers to the patient.
WHAT IS A CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY?
You have been asked to take part in a clinical research study.
This study will test an experimental drug named Remdesivir (RDV) for the treatment of COVID-19.
An experimental drug means that it is not approved for the treatment of COVID-19 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This Participant Information is a shortened version of the consent form to l explain the study to you.
The full consent form will be provided to you.
Your study doctor or study staff will go over this form with you and will answer all questions you have about the information in this form.
If you agree to take part, you will be asked to tell the research team and a member of the clinical care team.
You can refuse to take part or stop taking part at any time without giving a reason.
If you decide to stop taking part in the study at any time, your exit from this study will not affect medical care which you otherwise may receive.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY?
There are no approved medications to treat COVID-19, a new disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2 that was just identified in late 2019.
Some people who become sick with COVID-19 develop a very serious disease.
The purpose of this study is to see if RDV can improve the COVID-19 infection.
The other purpose of this study is to test if RDV is effective in treating people with severe COVID-19.
We want to determine how you will respond to this treatment{ut}{ut}{ut}
HOW LONG WILL YOU BE ON THE STUDY AND WHAT IS INVOLVED?
You will be in this study for 28 days, or until you leave the hospital.
{ut}{ut}While you are in the study, {ut}{ut}{ut}you will have a physical examination done every day while in the hospital.{ut}
There will be a follow up visit or phone call at day 28.
Your doctor may also take your blood for testing on other days if they think they should.
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomized to one of the following treatment groups.
Randomized means being in one of the groups chosen by chance, like flipping a coin.
Part A-
Treatment Group 1:
You will receive RDV and routine care treatment for 5 days or
Treatment Group 2:
You will receive RDV and routine care treatment for 10 days.
Part B-
Mechanically Ventilated Treatment Group – If you are getting mechanical ventilation, you will get standard of care treatment together with RDV 200mg on Day 1 and then RDV 100mg on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Extension Treatment Group – If you are enrolled when Part A is completed, you will get standard of care treatment together with RDV 200mg on Day 1 and then RDV 100mg on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Your treatment may be reduced to a total of 5 days based on the results from Part A.
If your doctor thinks you still need it, you will get routine care after you finish RDV.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE RISKS OF BEING IN THIS STUDY?
The most common side effects of this drug are:
inflamed blood vessel (redness and/or tenderness because of the blood draw),
constipation
bruising
headache
pain in an arm or leg
nausea (feeling sick)
Allergic reaction is always possible with a drug you have not taken before.
Serious allergic reactions that can be life-threatening may occur.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF THIS STUDY?
RDV may help treat your COVID-19.
However, we do not know if this will happen.
You may not get any benefit from taking part in this study.
This study is helpful for the doctors to see if this drug is helpful to treat people with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
If you take part in this study, your health will be monitored closely.
WHAT ARE YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS?
If you do not want to receive this experimental drug, you can choose another treatment such as having only routine care.
These treatments include those that are already approved.
Your doctor can discuss these other options with you.

English to Amharic: Dear Carlton Primary School community
Source text - English April 13th 2020
Dear Carlton Primary School community,
When I walked into the school back in 2006, for what I thought was a short term acting principal placement, I had no idea that I would become so attached to the community and that I would end up spending so much of my professional life here!
After such a long time at Carlton Primary and more than thirty years working in a number of other schools and educational settings, I have never experienced a period like now, that has brought so many changes and challenges to our profession.
There is no doubt that the coming weeks and months are going to be a huge learning curve for all of us; kids, parents and school staff, as we navigate a new way of teaching and learning.
We’ve been working hard over the holidays to ensure that the transition to this new way of learning is as smooth as it can be.
I would ask you to be patient as we work through the demands and obstacles that all schools are facing.
We won’t always get it right but we will be adapting, refining and improving things as we receive your feedback and learn what works best.
Please know too that the flexible and remote learning won’t look like a normal day at school.
We simply can’t replicate the classroom experience for your children.
Lessons will be short and open ended.
Our main aim, at least in these first few weeks, is to give your children a sense of security and connection to their teachers.
In these times of additional anxiety and stress for families and kids, we know that this will be far more important than any learning that might be missed.
So while there are many, many unknowns about this global crisis that we are all involved in, it is also a time of global solidarity.
Here are a couple of things that I know that should give us all some comfort as we move forward together.
I know that the Carlton PS community is a particularly resilient one, one that supports individuals and families to get through difficult times.
I also know that the staff here are an exceptionally skilled, committed and compassionate team who care deeply about your kids and who will be working hard during the coming weeks and months to stay connected with them.
I have no doubt that with these factors working in our favour, that we will get through these challenging times and I very much look forward the future when we can all gather again and celebrate the great work that we do together.
