[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I published the list above…

But here are the large number of cases (double digits)…it’s a lot of schools (staff)

So it’s not 1 or 2 per school. I am not a teacher - perhaps a teacher can comment on how difficult it is to find this many subs. I’m guessing not easy.

Just looking at this data point, it strikes me how these numbers mimic the community maps of COVID (by zip code) which might be indicative of lesser vacations and access to boosters.  MCPS should work with DHHS to increase vaccinations and boosters for these communities.

I agree with PP’s point though that it would be hard to keep schools functioning with so many staff members with COVID. Will Central Office employees pitch in to help cover classrooms? Are they increasing efforts to hire more staff? Reevaluating the breaking point as to when there’s not enough staff to function?

I think MCPS is playing catch up because administrators had an extra vacation in the middle of a crisis.[/quote]
