Don’t make a controversy where there is none!

but why would you not vaccinate teachers and child care workers ALREADY in action? that makes no sense. Slap in the face to the concept of 'essential workers' and getting society up and running.

Rich folk want there teachers vaccinated first lol. You have been in school the whole time. Let’s get the kids back who really need to go. All these woke private schools are all talk. We support the poor and minorities just not in my backyard, not in my school, and we need to have everything perfect for biff and St. Albans.

My understanding is there is not a high demand for live school from 'the poor' based on survey responses. The highest demand is in neighborhoods that have had lower rates, which happen to be richer. Just sayin'

Just to correct a misconception. My kids are ‘back in school’ at their private which means, given the hybrid nature and closures after breaks etc, they have been in school for 10 days since last February. A number of teachers zoom into the classrooms due to age or health-related issues. Please don’t think that most private schools are offering a ‘normal’ school experience.

This. There is currently a limited supply and limited means of distribution. The priority should be getting kids into schools who need it most. That is the DCPS plan. Private school families have resources these kids do not. If you are at the back of the vaccine line, you should count your blessings. I am.

There is no misconception. School right now is not normal. But your kids have had more normalcy than most.

Dcps should of course get priority. Wake up. The poor need to be back in school first. How un woke of the rich liberals.

DC Health had a call yesterday with school administrators. OP is correct as is the poster who stated that priority goes to those teaching in person as of 2/1. So those of you hoping this will get Larla back to school sooner will be disappointed. The whole roll out is taking much longer because DC Isn’t getting much vaccine but is vaccinating MD and VA residents who work here. I would have prioritized day care workers and preschool teachers, regardless of setting, first as those little ones need to be in person, but I’m not the mayor so, we just wait.

The teachers aren’t rich (at least most of them). This was from a teacher, as@hole.

Yes, our private in VA started vaccinating our teachers this week.

Same with our private in MD.

Uh, the rich liberals have been told that it is racist to advocate for poor black and brown children to be back and school because poor black and brown families don't want their children back in school. So apparently you are a racist.

Which is complete BULLSHIT because we have been the ones going in person and risking our health to educate kids while public school teachers stay home.

I am LIVID.

Maybe since the private schools have more space / ability to enforce rules "codes of conduct" the teachers are at less risk to start with and therefore should be prioritized lower?

Clearly the schools were able to figure out how to open up safely - probably with evidence that there was low spread - so what else do you need?

this, it's perfectly safe for the privates to be open has suddenly changed to it's unsafe and our teachers need to be prioritized- choose one

Sigh. You're missing the point.

Not really, privates have been saying a return to school is safe due to superior facilities, smaller classes, better behavior. If that’s true, then theirs is no need to prioritize private school teachers based on job

Where is this? 10 days since last Feb?! That's crazy for a private!
