Shit is still fuked up

The thing is if they do away with metrics because they think teachers are now safe, kids still have to go when spread is that high. At least at secondary level they can stay home til it’s safer and still get live instruction by logging on because it’s concurrent. But in elementary it’s a pure split. No online component if you’re hybrid. So parents have to forgo live instruction for completely asynchronous time or switch classes because the BOARD took away the metrics that they’ve had all this time saying it was the minimum of safety

If we don’t need them now why did we ever need them? This is as bad as it’s been yet and they just want to throw a bunch of kids back in when their parents picked hybrid based on them holding to metrics for safety.

Chill Bill. No one is taking away metrics. Families and teachers would be up in a roar and I doubt that’s what powers-that-be want at this very point in time.

That’s exactly what they’re voting on Tuesday and board member postings indicate the 5 votes are there.

To vote away the metrics?

Riddle me this:

We didn’t have in-person instruction in august because it was too hazardous.

We’re going to go in now after New Years peak and with the cold out there forcing people to mingle indoors??? I’d laugh if it weren’t because we live in the society where if you say only two biological genders exist you get labeled a neonazi white supremacist.

Asinine if they force people into death camps over a bunch of triggered parents.

Feb 16 is still 3 weeks away and PPR is dropping. It will very likely be below 10% by then anyway. And that’s only K-5 which has teeny tiny little podded classes. 6-12 isn’t until 3/3 when all teacher will have been vaxed and numbers will be even lower.

Anyone who doesn’t like it can switch to DL. Yes, even now.

We didn’t have in person instruction in August because admin couldn’t figure out the logistics.

No, but I can count votes. And we have enough.

If I have to switch my kid to DL because they don’t care about safety and send kids in on these numbers. In February. My child has an IEP and has made great progress with her teachers, that is NOT a solution. If the PCR will be under 10 in no time they can WAIT TIL IT IS.

It sounds like they are? It also sounds like a big settlement if employees are sent back in under those conditions and someone gets very sick or dies. Have all employees had both vaccines and time for them to reach full effectiveness? If not, they better have a long sub list.

Assuming every teacher has both doses +2 weeks to total immunity by the proposed dates (they won’t) , teachers would be safe which is great. KIDS WOULD NOT. Our metrics today are 836/100k and 15.5. More contagious variants are here. We think it’s okay to send KIDS in with those numbers because the board just doesn’t want to deal with them anymore? Why did ever have them to begin with of THOSE numbers are ok?

Sure. Covid isn't any more dangerous to kids than other common viruses. If parents aren't OK with it, they can keep their kids home.

A. Kids can catch it and take it home to their families.

B. Keeping your kids home in elementary means forgoing live instruction or switching to the distance class because it’s a pure hybrid split. That is not a solution .

C. Parents picked based on the belief they would hold to their own metrics. Now when they’re highest they’re going to throw them out. If violates my trust as a parent that they will keep kids safe by doing this. We were misled.

Expect an increase in taxes when the lawsuits start decimating LCPS’ accounts for this negligence.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. If you follow the various board members on social media, it definitely seems like they are going to vote to go back the minute they can finish the vaccination POD. You should prepare yourself.

Doubt it. Schools are open all over the country with higher rates than us. CDC and Northam and Feds are all saying schools should be open. They have more than enough cover. But if it makes you feel better, keep telling yourself this.
