I think they’re making their final decision at the board meeting on Wednesday, July 29 and we’ll find out after that.

I’ve heard that Frederick is going to try to play football and that some Montgomery players will transfer if they do.

Students split - A to L, M to Z
A-L attends face2face M, Tu.
W is a day off, with deep cleaning.
Th, Fri, A to L is online, and M to Z is face2face. M to Z is online M, Tu.

assuming that there's deep cleaning over the weekend as well

This makes a lot of sense to me. Seems reasonable.

If that plan was implemented with my class from this past school year, I would have had 7 kids (out of 24) on two of the instructional days. The majority of my students had last names beginning with letters in the latter part of the alphabet.

I was the one who shared this plan b/c I heard it from a teacher. She gave the alphabet breakdown as an example (I failed to mention that). So your comment makes sense. I imagine it will be split evenly. It might be A to K (through Klein) and K (Klinke) through Z to create a more even split.

I used to teach (2 decades). So I do understand how this might affect teachers' lives, too.
