I’m very much for opening schools and agree that our long term goal needs to be herd immunity in some sort of controlled fashion, as brutal as some may view that. We know we can do that (perhaps without the controlled part) versus a vaccine. I just don’t see the system taking the political risk of fully opening with reasonable safety measures, nor do I see there being any more time to make that decision. The system has 160,000 students. Any decision other than opening as normal is going to take every day left available to implement. Nine days ago I would have agreed with you about Phase 3. In fact, I would have bet on it. I’m not as sanguine about that anymore because the rest of the country has become a cautionary tale for Elrich. [/quote]

What about the political risk of saying, "Sorry kids, sorry parents, sorry employers of parents, we're just going to continue to not have school because that's easier than figuring out how to have school."?[/quote]

You can bet on the latter. I’m betting on the former. We (voters in MoCo) put this board in place and keep doing it. And they extended the superintendent. We are getting what we voted for. I’m a cynic. Even this won’t be enough to remove them. [/quote]
