[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LT is a complicated hodgepodge that differs from grade to grade. PK4 and 3rd get you a virtual guarantee of return for at least 2 days a week if you want... whereas K has 80%+ of respondents say they wanted in person (well over a majority even if all non-responses were counted as virtuals) and is sending back less than 1/3rs of students.[/quote]

Is the difference because of staff availability?

For K-5, are the kids going back 2 days a week (hybrid)?[/quote]

No, it’s really a total mix. PK3 is 2 classes of 8 going back 4 days/week with some sort of simulcasting for the rest of those 2 classes and 1 all virtual class. PK4 is 2 classes going back split in half one week in person/one week remote, so 40 of 54ish can go in person. One class stays remote. K the teachers apparently refused to see 2 cohorts, so it’s 10 kids in each of two classes going back 4 days with 10 kids simulcast all the time; one all virtual. 1st has only one teacher returning with 11 kids. The other kids in her class will be split between 2 all virtual classes that will be enormous now. I can’t remember all of the upper grades, but 3rd allows everyone who wants to to go back on a hybrid basis. 5th is only an 11 person CARES class setup with afternoon in person IEP and tutoring support.[/quote]

4th grade is only 11 back in person (29+ indicated in person preference). One teacher who teaches all subjects.

We also have a 1st grader and there are only 11 slots for the 38+ kids that want to go back.[/quote]

Yeah, 1st is the worst, but K is almost as bad. K had over 80% of respondents say they wanted to go back and instead it’s 20 out of 64ish... Even though it could be 40 if two K teachers hadn’t just unilaterally refused and the principal seemingly just caved to it.[/quote]

Are you sure they refused?  Or is this another example of they would have qualified for leave but they would have been out two teachers so she just kept them virtual.  [/quote]
