Will DCPS require desks 3 feet or 6 feet apart in the Fall?

[Anonymous]

Need my kids back in school 5 days a week, no more hybrid schedules or asynchronous Wednesdays.

Do charters and privates have to follow on desk spacing? In other parts of the country, 3 feet is sufficient and there has been no increase in covid infections.

CDC gives guidance and then local areas make their own decisions. Yes, it is time to get kids back.

DCPS ain’t opening regularly in the Fall. WTU won’t let it happen. Just sayin ...

No one has a crystal ball.

OP that is a lot of wishful thinking. 6ft and max 3 days a week in the fall is my bet.

Someone needs to lead us out of this mass hysteria now that we have extremely effective vaccines.

Hopefully cdc will update guidance, they should put desks at 3 feet before opening restaurants.

The DC privates don't. My one child's private is bringing back the entire school after spring break. There are no class size or spacing restrictions.
It's only DCPS that is choosing to follow the OSSE recommendation.

The private schools have never had to follow osse. The same way they don’t have to give parcc. They don’t take federal or city funds. It’s not like dcps can choose to ignore osse.

Interesting. My child's DC private says that they do have to follow both distancing and 11 person cohort rules.

+1000. Everyone should be able to get the vaccine by fall. School should be back full time in person.

It’s not gonna be our useless Mayor. She has shown zero leadership. DC is so upside down. How can schools still be closed?! but bars, restaurants and nail salons business as usual? My friends/family in Massachusetts (as liberal/blue as it gets) can’t believe schools are not open.

why? DC will likely be 70% vaccinated. That's enough for herd immunity. No more excuses WTU. you are all going back to work.
