There’s no conflict.

Kids should wear mask and distance.

[b]Schools should close unless they can implement strict precautions[/b].

What about when schools can implement precautions? Can they open then?[/quote]

It depends how serious they are on enforcement. For lunch, no talking and plastic dividers. Masks worn at all times apart from lunch for everyone.  No band, no chorus unless distanced outside. That kind of thing.[/quote]

My kid is orchestra, which can be done inside without the issues.  But, I also have a band kid at a school with a conservatory.  They are using the same same mitigation measures as FCPS, with dividers, bell covers, distancing, masks, face shields for most wind instruments, masks while singing etc.  No cases epilinked to in person Con classes.  I agree I would be nervous about sending my band kid in because it feels risky.  But, there has been a lot of work on having music ensembles safely.  There is data backing up the measures FCPS is using.

I know for my kids in person strings is the most important class. A musician without an ensemble is like an athlete without a team.  You can practice skills. But the community playing together is the part the love.  I hope it works. I’m glad my kid is string through. [/quote]
