[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berkeley Count, WV -- about a 1-hour drive from MoCo -- will be reopening for 5-day in-person instruction for children that want it. DL for those who dont':

Most interesting is this:

"Approximately half of the district’s 3,000 employees have responded to a survey asking for their comments, and 78 percent of the respondents have indicated a willingness to return to school, he said"

So 78 percent of staff there are willing to go back to school, compared to only 25% of MCPS staff. [/quote]

I wouldn't count on this happening with any surety.  Could it?  Yes, but Berkeley County has the second-highest number of covid cases in the state (Monongalia County, home of WVU, is first).  The governor has indicated it will be a county-by-county decision and any schools opening in person will be after Labor Day.  WV was one of the first states to shut down all in-person learning this spring.  Lots of older folks, multi-generational households and poor health indicators compared to much of the country.  I think all this will be taken into consideration.  [/quote]
