[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the whole point of hybrid was to make sure the buildings aren't more than half full. I don't care if some schools opted back 80%. That's totally fine, why are we worried about this? [b]Also I don't care about testing.[/b] I care about masks and ventilation. That's the recipe that is working for local private schools.

The Catholic school near me has 100% of students in 5 days a week. Kids are 3 ft apart not 6 ft (they got a waiver). There have been cases in the school but [b]no spread in the school[/b]. Kids wear masks, classrooms have HEPA filters, and the split the kids at lunch time to have fewer in the classroom while eating. Again, no school spread. School has to quarantine classrooms a few times and even shut the whole school down for a week twice, but those kids have been in school 90% of the days of this school year so far, vs. APS kids who have been in school 0%.

And as someone above said, why would I believe APS will open 5 days a week in the fall? I hope they do, but I don't believe it at this point. I don't even think they will get my HS kid back anytime soon.

But I will take it. Any amount of time they are open, my kid will be there.[/quote]

How do they know there hasn't been spread? Was the whole school tested before returning?

We have friends at multiple private schools - testing has been key.
