[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many schools disregarding CDC guidelines to allow for more IPL?

At least one DCPS is starting Term 4 without following CDC guidelines and requiring eating in classrooms (obviously unmasked) with only 3' distance and for longer than 15 minutes. DCPS has given schools the discretion to do this but also the discretion to follow CDC guidelines even if it means fewer students can return in-person.

I am aware of the arguments on both sides of the issue and understand that people feel strongly about whether this should be permitted or not or whether the CDC is credible or not and whether it's worth the risk or not. I am not interested in comments about whether you think this is a good or bad thing or in starting another thread debating the issue but am curious if other schools are doing the same. In all of the talk about this I have not yet seen a comment about any other school (public, private or charter) that is not following CDC guidelines so I wonder if this is a unique decision or if other schools are following suit.

I dunno, I'm a teacher who will have about 22 students on April 19th. I've already thought about lunch. Since we are all in the classroom we can break up the time when everyone is eating. 15- 20 minutes/group, maybe permanently moving the portable air filtration system into the center of the room, windows open. Lunch become a center in our math rotation. Everyone gets to eat between 11:30-12:30 and we never have the whole class unmasked at any given time.[/quote]

Finally someone with a sensible solution rather than an excuse to keep kids out of schools longer.
Thank you for your innovative work around.[/quote]
