I’ve always been curious where this troll lives……

You mean trolls like you? You demanded in person. You are getting what you demanded. Stop complain and get off DCUM to make a back up plan for if schools shut down.

I’m not sure why I’m wasting my time responding to this, but I’ll do it once and move on.

MCPS parents were, by and large, pretty accepting of virtual learning for a long time. MCPS was among the last of the last districts, nationwide, to open. For months, expressing support for reopening was treated as a fringe view in MoCo.

And lest you still think opening was driven by a fringe group of radical parents, I point you to the directive from the state of MD. 99% of MCPS parents could have been supportive of virtual forever and they still would have had to open.

But, there is a loophole to this in person requirement and it seems you are getting what you demanded now. So enjoy it while it lasts I guess?

... must be brain dead, to call this "normal".

This has been our normal for two years now. You must be brain dead not to understand that. Your failure to plan does not make it a crisis for the school system.

NP. My plan was for my kids to attend school in-person under the metrics that MCPS originally communicated. Those metrics have been thrown out the window. My child’s school is open today with a 14-day positivity rate above 6% — which was not part of MCPS’s plan just 2 days ago. Not one bit of this shifting landscape is to to my planning or lack thereof.

Wasn’t this plan just invented two weeks ago? The previous plan was to do nothing until the state told them otherwise

I don't have official info for our red school (radio silence officially), but I kept my kid home today and forwarded the "Larla will be out today" email to our principal to tell them in a (hopefully) kindly worded paragraph why we were keeping Larla out, and saying no response was necessary. They respond quickly with basically "no worries, I totally get it" which surprised me. I am so sorry they are having to deal with so much right now. They must be up all night with emails and stress and logistics.

DCUM and Bethesda Beat are apparently how MCPS communicates with parents.

There, fixed it for you.

No communication at all from (red) Wootton's acting principal (in training).

Mom to two ES kids, at two different schools. Got a great, very informative email from the principal of our yellow school this afternoon saying we’d know at 7:00pm tonight but that she is preparing for all circumstances and will communicate as much as possible. It didn’t say anything I didn’t already know/assume, but the act of communicating was really lovely.

Zero information whatsoever from our other (red) school.

And how long will Larla be out? Is 4.99% safe or will you invent your own metric to suit your narrative.

I'm not sure. Taking it day by day. 4.99 does not feel safe to me personally, but I was willing to follow the 5% metric. We have not had COVID so far and I am doing my best to keep us from getting it. It's ok if you feel differently, but my kid did fine with virtual and I'm not personally going to be pushed into sending them in when I don't feel safe doing so. I do think their booster will flex my risk tolerance though, and that's happening on Monday.

Great leader at my HS school is on tomorrow.

I can tell you as of right now the schools don't know and the decisions are currently being made.

Qo just sent a blast email they plan to distribute rapid tests to all students tomorrow.
Tomorrow, when they should be closed as they are red.
Tomorrow, when we may have a snow day.

Oh, let me guess, Larla is in ES?

I have one kid in one of the original 11 red school and the other in a school that was red yesterday.

The kid in the original red school was virtual today. The other kid rode the bus to in-person school today.

It’s really bizarre. There’s no rationale.
