Ah, nothing like the announcement of an 8am MCPS press conference for a “COVID-19 update” on my first day back on the job in a month. Trial by fire let’s goooo. (This will be live streamed on the MCPS website’s homepage and its YouTube page.) See you tomorrow! I'll make odds. 3:2 Pivot to virtual this week, more likely d/t major staffing shortages than 5% metric being reached per se 4:1 Not pivoting to virtual quite yet, but announcement of new COVID policy with some metric, that, if met, will pivot the entire county to virtual simultaneously instead of school-by-school 9:1 Announcement that they are STAYING OPEN, DANGIT, but here are some mitigation measures they'll somehow try to put in place. Everyone eats on the roof, maybe. 17:1 Some sort of weird hybrid plan so fewer students have to be in the building at once 43:1 Everyone has to switch pants, come on, switch your pants... now! |

| I doubt it is pivot to virtual because they have not told teachers a damn thing. |

This, you'd think they'd tell them now so they can get their classrooms set up. It will be more covid theater. |

I heard that this followed a big meeting of principals, though. Could be an emergency measure. |

That means nothing. Teachers have gotten information at the same time as the public more times than not. |

| They already said 1,000,000 times that they aren’t pivoting the entire district. Maybe she’ll announce some high school closures or something. Damn this weather. So stressful. Wish we had just ripped the bandaid off and gone back Monday and gotten it over with. |

Things change. It's not a law of man or physics. It's a guideline. |

| Maybe they will somehow let the whiners get a temporary virtual option or something so they’ll leave us alone. I honestly don’t get it. Two vax’d families I know got covid over break and it was like a headache. Can we stop punishing the kids yet? |

What meeting of principals? Principals know nothing. They were told nothing during break either. |

| You guys I can’t take it anymore. I just want the kids to go to school, to do my job as well as I used to, have some occasional play dates and birthday parties to break up the month. Anyone else hate this feeling of being consumed by thoughts of what MCPS is going to do next to screw your life over again. This feeling takes me back to summer 2020 (remember when they ditched hybrid?) and august 2021 when people were freaking out about delta buy thank god MCPs stuck to its plan. Sigh. I’m so tired. When will it end. |

When there is better leadership. Otherwise principals are going to be done as well. The BOE needs to decide what they value more, doubling down on their choice of interim superintendent, or retaining consistent school leadership across the system. |
