[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a parent turn down an in person spot. A week later she mentioned that she would reconsider in the spring.

That is not how this works.

We filled the spot and for her students grade level- this is it.

So turn it down, but then you are fully at home until fall 2021[/quote]

So you’re implying that when all teachers have BOTH doses of vaccine, AND the time needed to be fully immune passes, the school will still it be full time in term 4 ??!! WTF 🤦‍♀️[/quote]

If the same amount of people qualify for ADA/FMLA where are getting the staff to man these classrooms?  Nothing is changing for Term 4. People still qualify for leave.  Only 45% of teaching staff was eligible to return. So yes. This is it. I guess you could start a petition to get rid of ADA and FMLA laws, though I don’t know how far that will get. [/quote]

You don't have to get rid of ADA and FMLA laws for DCPS to require all teachers to return to work. These laws have existed while teachers were required to work in person pre-pandemic. The nature of the job is in-person, so it's not like an accommodation request for say an ergonomic keyboard. DCPS is choosing to allow people with underlying conditions to work from home. They could determine to require them to return to work when the MOA expires. I believe they agreed to this allowance and other terms in the MOA, which is why WTU ultimately signed it.

FMLA isn't granted due to fear of acquiring a disease.[/quote]

The MOA expires at the end of the pandemic.  Anyway, if DC tries to pull ADA during this I think they get a massive amount of lawsuits. We have had 4 teachers quit at my school over coming back.  I’m not sure you would get the result you want by forcing teachers back with medical conditions. [/quote]
