The CDC looked at data from schools that have been open all year, some full time with minimal distancing, and concluded that 6 feet is unnecessary.

The science says that little kids hardly spread Covid. Even so, I can't see the imbecile Bowser sycophant Chancellor Ferebee bothering to push DCPS elementary school admins to get more kids into seats for Term 4. A few more kids will return, but that's about it.

For full days or half days?

Full days (home on Wednesdays)

What school is this? Or at least say whether this is a charter or Dcps

This can’t be true or has to be a charter. DCPS has still not issued guidance to principals about what the Term 4 requirements are. They are coming Tuesday.

Please share which school. Really great news.

Key already has a robust in person program. They use simulcast for distance learning and a vast majority opted for in person learning hybrid model with I believe all families being offered spaces.

Huh? I heard that Key is staying the course with the setup from Term 3, only offering a few seats.

Sorry, meaning only offering a few seats that have become available for term 4. Lots of kids currently have hybrid seats at Key.

This is what my friend said. Maybe she misunderstood. Does anyone understand why schools would not just offer full day school? It seems like less work for teachers than hybrid to have all the kids together.

Because they have to teach virtual kids too and not all are willing to do simulcast full time. At least they won’t at our school. Also 3 feet may still not allow for all kids to fit.

It’s also not true that they offer hybrid
FPS lol who want it. My friend has been repeatedly denied a hybrid spot for her kids, although we know there are less than 10 kids in that class.
