No district is going to admit it before 9/8, but they'll probably put it back on the table when enough parents get squeamish and start pulling their kids to homeschool. Elementary schools in particular cannot risk losing 25% of a grade level and that's exactly what will happen if there are dozens of cases at a particular school.

Anybody who was going to homeschool already was before the year began. Nobody is pulling and starting this in any large numbers

Want to bet? A lot of people made that decision before Delta was a factor. Parents are starting to reconsider.

Not many are. It’s not 2020.

Disagree, but you do you.

I’ll do that, by choosing to be rational.

Kindergarten parent here, so I’m brand new to all of this. The email I saw from the superintendent indicated that there would be a page with updated covid info/stats, and it would go live today. I can’t find a link to this on the LCPS website. Anyone seen it?

Would sending teachers and students to die in death camps would be considered unlawful?

HUGE EYEROLL. These histrionics don't work anymore. I guess it doesnt matter to you how incredibly damaging distance learning was to children (especially poor children) last year.

Stop pretending you care about poor children. You used them as a trump card to jam your own privileged kids in person. It worked, so you can shut up now.

No they aren’t. If they were worried they weren’t going to send their kids in for a few weeks to get exposed and uses to school and THEN pull them. Seriously the number of families that would do that is probably in the double digits for the entire county. Anyone who wanted to homeschool withdrew before school began.

Thank you, Virginia Assembly, for passing SB-1303 (now Chapter 456 of the Virginia Code).

It doesn't work well on a phone, just FYI.

People seem to keep forgetting this is in fact a state law requiring 5 days a week in person. All these people predicting switching to virtual refuse to acknowledge this. You can like it or not, but that's what we are all working with, and things are going to have to get really, really bad before full-scale virtual would be allowed as an option.

exaggerate much? They might go virtual for ES bc kids under 12 can't be vaccinated, but beyond that, no. How many vaccinated people are dying from any variant? Sorry but parents who don't vaccinate their eligible kids and teachers who choose not to be vaccinated shouldn't dictate whether my kid goes to school.

Which seems like a reasonable system. THere's no need to quarantine classes or schools with few cases.

This. It will be by class or by individual school, and only for enough weeks to clear the outbreak. VA law allows nothing more.

There are classes in quarantine right now. I hope the effort works to contain the spread.

Only because it was the teacher who tested positive. Had it been a student, only the students nearby would have had to quarantine. Hope the teacher was vaccinated and this is a breakthrough case because if not that is totally irresponsible of her. So glad it will be required as of 10/31.

Why are you hoping they are vaccinated? If vaccinated people are also capable of breakthrough infection and spread, then what's the difference?

It’s not. Do you understand what a “law” is? Isolated closures for outbreaks only. It’s VA SB1303.

The Superintendent's letter called it something else, I think chapter 456.

What is so bad about elementary schools losing a quarter of a grade level, or all grade levels? I would think they have already gotten their money for the year, and now they have smaller class sizes for the same money.

Privileged kids can afford to stay home. It is the poor kids whose parents struggle to handle having them at home while they go to work. Many left them on their own and were just scared the school would find out and report them to social services for negligence.

Who’s making the decisions at the White House? Butt’s-been-wiped in chief surely isn’t. My uncle has the same mental decline.
