LCPS return to in-person instruction postponed indefinitely

[Anonymous]

Loudoun is doing it’s own thing though. We are only to be using our “POD.” Other LCPS teachers who tried other sites were told Loudoun badges wouldn’t be accepted there. And they shouldn’t. Our county has its own supply of vaccines and a plan allegedly. I’m not stealing another county’s because mine can’t get it together. Meanwhile another email to sign up was send out today - for everyone I know the link is blank and dead or it goes to a scheduling page where there’s no available dates any day between now and end of February. Cool.

It's frustrating--I live in Fairfax and if I click through the scheduler as if an FCPS teacher, I can see they have literally hundreds of appointments. I'm waiting for LCPS as I should, but their Hunger Games free-for-all strategy leaves something to be desired.

If the PPR drips below 10, I don’t see that happening.

Due to the high level of cases and infection rates as described in the risk Matrix there’s no telling when they’ll return.

What’s not forthcoming is the vaccine rollout being slow, unorganized and high numbers of declinations.

So I guess third quarter will be mostly if not all virtual. Who would’ve thought back in August that 75% of the year would be virtual.

Anyone thinks they’ll have virtual until June?

If a lot of teachers are refusing the vaccine, can they be fired?

No but we aren’t refusing it! They literally do not have dates scheduled. They have briefly opened up only a few and they immediately fill. We got a long email from the interim superintendent about issues with supply of vaccines. They don’t know when they’ll have enough. It’s going to take a long time to get us all vaccinated and they ask for patience.

But even if staff refuses it, no they can’t be fired. They would just go in and risk it.

I’m not refusing it. I’m simply not showing up to any of those inoculation camps and subjugating my body. Before your blood pressure starts rising relax. I’m not leaving, resigning or quitting. I’ll work with no problem whatsoever. What parents might have a problem with is my mask exemption. I’m not working with my face covered. But it is what it is. Not only kids have exemptions. So deal with it.

Can we keep the mute button when we go back in person?

Why the hell are people called trolls? Can’t they have their own opinions and choices?

I don’t understand how anyone in public thinks they are going back this year with what teachers unions have done with total impunity.

Loudoun is at 15.3 percent today on the VDH website for positivity rate. Fairfax is 12.1.
