Neal has been clear that she doesn't want to reopen at all, so she delivered the worst possible plan only when DCPS forced her to get more kids back. Many parents complained about her refusal to reopen to her higher ups, which is the only reason there's even a sliver of IPL on the table right now. She's really not on the same page as the majority of Deal parents, and now she's digging in her heels and refusing to find a way to reopen more meaningfully. She's created a very us vs them environment and fractured the school community. I don't see her really trying to reopen unless absolutely forced to do so.

Neal said they are coming back in the Fall.

She said it because she is saying what the Chancellor is saying to her not because she necessarily believes it. It's like when you disagree with your boss but you know you have to toe the line or potentially lose your job.

I thought she was emphasizing that to appease the nutty aggressive parents to say it is going to happen with authority. The parents are insane type A folks that needed to be reassured.

Wanting in-person school does make one "insane type A". Almost all of America is back in-person including most large urban districts.
My other child's DC private school is bringing back al 600 kids for FULL in person learning next week

This. Parents have a right - even a responsibility - to advocate for their children's education.

New covid variant infecting children. I hope my kids get vaccinated soon. I think Pfizer just got approved for 12-15.

What this means is that the new variant is more transmissable among both adults and children. It still remains relatively less transmissable in children. Me too though. Looking forward to getting the kids vaccinated!

Nope. Pfizer hasn't applied for emergency use authorization yet. They did announce positive results last week, though, so that could happen soon.
