Have NoVA school districts broached Northam about a week-long closures / DL in Jan during peak?

Because school closures did nothing to change the fact that covid spread. Wouldn't a better question be why Northam doesn't consider a week long closure on gyms? restaurants? stores? public gatherings? family get togethers? All of these help covid spread because covid spreads through adults. Kids don't really need to go to any of those places. Sure they can go but there is no need for them to go.

I love how the Arlington and Fairfax County superintendents just closed schools for a week because it’s “cold”. Brrr . Those two “doctors” just elected Republicans to both the School and County Boards (of Supervisors). What’s more, the incumbents can’t do anything about it .

He’s not going to do that mid surge.

We just moved to NoVa from MoCo and I can’t tell you how relieved we are that we don’t have to worry about the kids returning to virtual learning.
