Should all schools be DL for two weeks after Spring Break?
There will be an increase of COVID cases after Spring Break, and I don't think it will be safe for us to be back at school. So should School be DL after Spring Break for at least 2 weeks? |

| FCPS HS Teacher here (with MS and HS aged kids). I think it is safe in schools, so I do not think all schools should switch to DL after Spring Break. |

| Nope. But feel free to keep your kid home for 2 weeks. No one is stopping you from that. Not being sarcastic but if you feel it's not safe for you keep your kids home. |

| We have already missed SO much school. My family is not traveling for spring break. My kids should not have to miss another two weeks of school. |

No. This is why the kids are sitting so far apart and wearing masks.
If they classes were full with normal spacing I could maybe see the argument for DL, but not with the current mitigation in place. |

| Better yet, Schools should test all returning students |

No!! We don’t have that many weeks left of school. Going back to DL right now would be so disruptive. Keep your kids home if you’re worried.

| No my daughter is so excited to be back in school. And we're getting into a routine. Why interrupt that? I think if parents want to keep their child home for two weeks they should be given the option. But that should not be forced on all of us. |

| No. I am vaccinated and my kids and I will go visit my vaccinated mom who is a short drive away. We are complying with CDC guidance even though we are technically traveling. I will raise hell if we are asked to quarantine after this. There is no scientific basis for this. |

We are finally starting to pull of the band-aid. Let’s not stop now.

| Luckily even our crazy district (not in VA) said they couldn’t require it! Finally the madness is starting to subside. |

+1 Also you should realize that many families are engaging in activities with an equal or greater risk of Covid spread compared to airplane travel on a daily basis (sports, indoor play dates, extended family get togethers, indoor dining, etc) so worrying so much about spring break travel is kind of silly. |
