To ensure the health and safety of our students, their families, employees, and members of our community, the School of Philadelphia Ballet will require that all students ages 12 and above receive a COVID-19 vaccine so as to be fully vaccinated by Monday, September 30, 2021. Likewise, students under the age of 12 must commit to receiving the vaccine no more than 45 days after it becomes available.

OVERVIEW

This policy is designed for use together with, and not as a substitute for, other safety measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in the school.

As a condition of enrolling, all students ages 12 and above must: (1) be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (i.e., two weeks following receiving both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one week after receiving a single dose of a one-dose vaccine considered effective by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"); and (2) provide the Philadelphia Ballet Human Resources Department with vaccination details by Monday, September 30, 2021, unless the student has obtained an approved exemption as an accommodation. The process for seeking an accommodation is explained below.

Philadelphia Ballet also requires that students ages 12 and above receive any future booster shots that may be recommended by the health authorities. The booster mandate will also apply to students under the age of 12 after the vaccination becomes available.

To confirm or provide your vaccination status, please send a copy of your vaccination card directly and confidentially to Human Resources at jmeister@philadelphiaballet.org. Records will be kept confidentially in Human Resources. Once you submit your proof of vaccination to Human Resources, we recommend you immediately delete your vaccination record from your local computer drive after uploading. If this step is not taken, Philadelphia Ballet cannot guarantee the privacy and security of that information.

Employees of Philadelphia Ballet are required to be vaccinated as well. Independent Contractors, guests and visitors will be asked for proof of vaccination when working for Philadelphia Ballet and/or visiting the workplace, attending rehearsals, performances and/or events. No records will be maintained by Philadelphia Ballet for individuals that fall within these categories.

Documentation should only include proof of vaccination and no other medical or genetic information (e.g., family medical history).

EXEMPTIONS

Any current student who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccination because of a qualifying disability or sincerely held religious belief should contact Human Resources to request an accommodation. Newly enrolled students who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccination because of a qualifying disability or sincerely held religious belief should contact Human Resources to request an accommodation within seven days from the initial date of registration.

Once a request for reasonable accommodation is made, Philadelphia Ballet will engage in a case-by-case interactive process to assess whether such student is eligible for an exemption from the vaccination requirement under the same analysis as afforded to EEOC- and ADA-mandated exemptions from workplace requirements in accordance with federal, state, and local law. Philadelphia Ballet will keep any medical information obtained in connection with a request for a reasonable accommodation confidential in accordance with, and to the extent required by, applicable law, regulations, and guidance.

Any student age 12 and above who remains unvaccinated after the vaccination deadline without an approved exemption from this COVID-19 Vaccination Policy will be withdrawn from the school. Any student under the age of 12 who remains unvaccinated 45 days after the vaccine becomes available without an approved exemption from this COVID-19 Vaccination Policy will be withdrawn from the school.

This policy is an essential component of Philadelphia Ballet's overall strategy and commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy school and workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. This policy will remain in effect until further notice.

To request accommodation paperwork, or to ask any questions regarding this policy, please contact Jacque Meister, Director of Human Resources at jmeister@philadelphiaballet.org.

(Guidelines Part 2)

PROTOCOL FOR WHEN A STUDENT OR STAFF MEMBER HAS A COVID-LIKE ILLNESS

• If a student or staff member becomes symptomatic during the program they will be isolated in a specified area.
• The student's parents/caretakers will be advised immediately and arrange to pick up their student in order to leave the building as soon as possible for medical care. (In the case of a respiratory emergency PAB staff member will call 911.)

'Close contact' generally does not include brief interactions, such as walking past a person. Please note: Students and/or staff who have been vaccinated will not need to quarantine unless they are symptomatic.
• Students and/or staff in the affected class will NOT automatically be subject to quarantine unless they have come in "close contact" with the individual affected OR show symptoms.

ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. The Philadelphia Ballet (PAB) has created safety guidelines for in-person training. The attached guidelines were developed through research in consultation with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and local officials, as well as our own research in our particular field for operation, including in consultation with our colleagues from dance schools across the nation (the "PAB Guidelines for Healthy and Safe Operation of the School of Philadelphia Ballet").

Philadelphia Ballet has put into place these preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of spread of COVID-19. However, PAB cannot guarantee that you or your child (the "Student") will not be exposed to COVID-19 while on PAB's premises.
By reading the PAB Guidelines for Healthy and Safe Operation of the School of Philadelphia Ballet and adhering to the practices outlined therein you understand the risk and contagious nature of COVID-19. By signing this release, you acknowledge the risk of COVID-19 transmission to you or your child by attending the School of Philadelphia Ballet (the "SPB") or otherwise visiting PAB's premises. This exposure may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of PAB and others, including but not limited to, faculty, staff, and other students and their families. You further agree that you and your child will comply with all protective measures and protocols implemented by PAB and/or established by the CDC and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

READ CAREFULLY AS EXECUTION OF THIS FORM WILL WAIVE LEGAL RIGHTS:

By checking the "I've read the above and agree" box below, you acknowledge that:

I understand that PAB has implemented the enhanced safety and sanitation protocols (outlined in the PAB Guidelines for Healthy and Safe Operation of the School of Philadelphia Ballet) in response to COVID-19. I further acknowledge and understand that, even in light of these procedures, there is still a risk that I or my child attending SPB may be exposed to and/or contract COVID-19 while on PAB's premises. I also acknowledge that due to their physical nature, dance programs may carry a greater risk than other activities of exposure to COVID-19. Even when all reasonable precautions are taken, there is an unavoidable risk of exposure to COVID-19.

I knowingly and voluntarily agree to assume all the risks of any COVID-19 exposure and accept sole responsibility of any infection (including but not limited to personal injury, disability, and death) or expense of any kind, that I or my child may experience or incur due my child's participation in the SPB program and/or use of PAB's facilities.

Student and his/her assignees, heirs, parents, guardians, and legal representatives hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and hold harmless PAB and each of their officers, trustees, employees, faculty, staff, students, agents, representatives, or groups affiliated therewith (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any liability, claims, or causes of action of whatever nature, arising from or related to exposure to COVID-19 for any reason whatsoever to the fullest extent permitted by law, including without limitation any liability, claims, or causes of action based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Released Parties.

I acknowledge by signing this release that I have read and understand the PAB Guidelines for Healthy and Safe Operation of the School of Philadelphia Ballet. I also understand that any COVID-19 infection (whether it occurs before, during, or after participation in the Program) and any related claims will not be directed to the Released Parties. By signing this release, Student and his/her assignees, heirs, parents, guardians, and legal representatives waive the right to bring any legal action against the Released Parties now or at any time in the future to recover compensation or obtain any other remedy for any injury to Student or Student's property caused by COVID-19 or COVID-19-related procedures and arising out of or related to his/her participation in the Program.

In addition, I understand that this release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will allow and that if any portion is held invalid, agrees that the balance shall, not withstanding, continue in full force and effect.

To protect our children and staff, I agree to keep my child at home if he/she has:
• Fever (a temperature of 100.4 or more)
• Cough
• Chills
• Muscle pain
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell

If my child has any of these signs of COVID-19, I will not send him/her back to school until:
o A healthcare provider has seen my child and documented a reason for the symptoms other than COVID
OR
o All are true: 1) at least 10 days since the start of symptoms AND 2) fever free off anti-fever medicines for 1 day AND 3) symptoms are getting better.

If my child is diagnosed with COVID-19, I will not send him/her back to school until the following:
o It has been at least 10 days since my child first had symptoms AND
o My child has had no fever off anti-fever medicines (ex: Tylenol, Ibuprofen) for 1 days AND
o My child's symptoms are getting better

If someone in my household is diagnosed with COVID-19 or my child is exposed to COVID-19, I will keep him/her home for 10 days.
