If you are not comfortable with in person, continue with DL. Many of us want our kids to be in school and hope LCPS succeeds.

Good luck today, LCPS.

Praying the infections skyrocket and push LCPS to DL.

sorry jesus isn't taking the wheel on your request, hopefully you die of bedsoars, alcholism and obseity from your sednetary WFH

August-December is definitely enough time to know that all of the horrible doomsday predictions for schools did NOT occur.

So, your rhetoric is unnecessary. There’s a lot of latitude been all good and doomsday. Again, it’s impossible to say. So many were all DL or only had hybrid. The few districts that have had 5 days are in areas of such massive spread that it’s impossible to separate our community spread from the schools that... serve the communities with massive spread. We know cautious areas had less spread which was the goal. It reminds me of when a kid does well on an IEP so the school starts talking about removing the IEP... they did well BECAUSE they had it!

I’m not proposing 5 day school. Just K-12 hybrid as long as VA is in phase 3. Northam has been conservative on metrics. Let him roll us back if need be.

What Northam does for the economy isn’t intended to be a message about what’s best for schools. That’s EXACTLY why he left this in individual district hands. Phase 3 in VA is due to the economy, not human well being.

I'm just glad they're first

Yes our hospitalizations are on par with the spring peak and our new case daily numbers are about twice as high as the spring peak, but we stay in phase 3 because Northam doesn't want a shut down again due to the economic impacts. Hopefully he'll consider addressing this before we get to the point some states have hit of needing to triage care, build field hospitals, and send patients to other states.

Thanks glad to see somebody else understands the obvious. If Northam had any intention of phasing to be a sign of heat should be happening in all schools he would not have intentionally split the two. He handles economic phasing. He leaves it up to districts to plan if school is safe. We live in the densest population zone in this state with the highest rates of infection so we haven’t opened yet despite it being “phase 3” to keep business operating. This isn’t rocket science.

Nah, he leaves it up to schools to plan logistics. Some schools suck at it. If it were unsafe we wouldn’t allow it. It’s safe. The school districts around here just don’t want to try because wah wah it’s hard.

He doesn’t want to shut down schools either. He realizes theyve been operating safely.

So glad you brought up Rhode Island! Great example! RI keeps schools opening while closing stores and restaurants. Because, priorities.

That would be fine. As a teacher if everything else closed I would go in happily. But we don’t.

What are Loudoun’s metrics? Just curious.

No pause in phasing unless it’s 200/100,000 average AND 10% PPR. Both.

If this happens during hybrid, it has to sit there for 5 straight school days before they transition.

If a revert to DL happens, hybrid can’t resume until they’re both under those thresholds for 5 straight days. Yet, we are currently phasing kids in when our average is 314/100,000 so logically there’s some holes. You can GO in with one elevated but you can’t go BACK in with one elevated.

For context, as of today our numbers are 314/100,000 and 8% PPR. So the first metric is very elevated, the second is close.
