Friday?

Not Hindu but wow on the racist rant above. Meanwhile, never heard any Hindu families complain about the schedule that is primarily Christian calendar.

Stop blaming this on another school system - this is 100% about Covid and Fairfax is just taking the blame.

Will we be in better shape Covid-wise with staffing next week?

Hopefully- Duran said we were going to operate with only 60% of our staff before FCPS closed for weather- with it closing we were below 50%. That’s insane. Next week might be marginally better but be prepared for kids to be lumped into classrooms together and monitored by 1 staff member.

Just because you seem in the know- nearly 40% of APS staff district wide is out for covid-related reasons? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Not PP but yes. (I am in the know)

Then APS needs to share this data broken down by school. Stop with the hand waving. Right now it seems that on Thursday Syphax basically caved to a sick out by teachers, but is being non-transparent about it. Dashboards show <10% teacher outages for covid. What are the other 40% of outages?

It doesn5 account for all of them, but some are no doubt out to care for sick children and others are symptomatic and waiting on test results.

Transparency is important. Duran isn't providing it.

Do you know what this means for next week? Do we think they will be in person and everything else as usual? I don't think there is any plan to just go virtual, temporarily, in the works.

If it somehow turns out that there aren't enough teachers to staff a particular school and not enough subs available, does anyone know whether it's hard to put the virtual interface back into place for kids and staff for that school or all schools? Or is that interface already there? I haven't checked my kid's computer for a while. Just curious.
