Like, they will be shutting down indoor dining, right?

Procuring PPE?

If no steps, this mayor has to go. She's putting kids last and its so sad and so scary.

She's saying its not just health issues, but also about getting things up and running with safety and health infrastructure before opening doors.

Does it say anything more about PK? Will there be virtual learning every day?

Yes. And nap time.

Live sessions for prek?

Yes I believe they said small group sessions for Pk.

ugh. any accommodations for kids who are going to be in private care all day?

What does that mean?

DP but probably kids at daycares that can't accommodate them doing virtual learning (don't have good wi-fi or time to help students log in).

Right- we shouldn't lose our spots since we need childcare if that childcare can't help them do DL. These kids should still be able to keep their spots whenever DCPS does open- say Nov. 7th

She is NOT happy with the union. "40% of DC government is already back at work"

I suspect you can work with your school to sort it out.

I’m in VA, so please forgive the question. Does this apply to DC charter schools?

My husband works for DCgov. 40% is being very generous. Pretty much the only people working are DPW abs and libraries (which rumor has it are about to close)

I missed her answer to the question about what impact the union had on her decision. Did anyone catch that?

Yeah, she basically said it didn't and it was about families. She also hinted that other DC workers are back at work, so why can't the teachers be. That's what I took her tone to be.

Facebook allows you to go back at any time.

No.

my son is at a dc charter school (entering prek 4). So it's up the individual school to open or close?
