What will it take HoCo to move to virtual

In fact, the county is only listing 9 COVID cases TOTAL among all the high schools. Come on, are we really supposed to believe this?

HCPSS will never move to virtual as long as they are only looking at those (false) numbers.

The dashboard has always only reflected cases where the person was in the building while contagious.

They are the only reason the BOE thinks they can pull it off because they are working around the clock, no breaks, while sick and with sick family members -covering for all the staff shortages. They need to say NO. Don't cover. Stay home if sick or exposed.

Watching this nightmare is just too much.

Teachers take control? Like last year? From an elected board which the parents elect?

Hmm…how far behind did the kids test on average in fall? How many other places are closing down?
Teachers can work to rule. They still won’t risk closing down the district without the state of Maryland lifting the requirement for
180 in-person days unless teachers accept working until August.

Nope. Schools need to close. At least there will be a consistent program while virtual, as opposed to this understaffed and covid hit veneer of something. Again, school is not daycare.
