Which schools are still not open for ANY In-Person learning?

I would also add that the partial opening of schools we currently have has further advantaged connected/influential/involved families. At our Capitol Hill DCPS, the principal appeared to magically find a spot for every family that called and complained. You know who did that? Entitled, school-involved, largely white, largely well-off parents. (Including me. I felt icky about it, but my priority was getting my kids back in school. If I trusted that the system was fair or random, I wouldn’t have. But once I knew how it was working...) You know who didn’t do that? Lots of families who didn’t even know it was a thing and/or are literally drowning at the moment.

I wonder if we're still at the same school. Slightly different story but we also got a spot through shaking the trees. and thank goodness we did because they would have had even more of a disaster on their hands with my feral child if they had let him twist in the wind until the fall. I don't feel guilty, because I know that the reason we ended up where we were anyway was due to the "involved" school families that dominated the reopening dialogue to keep schools closed earlier.
