[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that today’s email is so hard to understand and seems contradictory. I wish Noonan could keep it more to the point. Today’s email is more convoluted than most and that is really saying something. [/quote]

Ha ha.  He reminds me of me.  I can’t help a bit of meandering in my writing so I end up bolding what I think are the essential points/ directives of a letter.

What might be confusing you is that he is taking the tack of extreme honesty, acknowledging some serious hiccups in the plan to return to school - namely, a shortage of custodial staff since a recent outbreak among them.  [b]He carefully worded this section, of course, so as to NOT acknowledge this happened during school hours and on school property.  [/b]

In essence, he is saying “We shall charge forth anyway to reopen school, armed with our CDC approved ‘mitigation’ efforts.”

He then adds a couple of pointers for parents so as to optimize said mitigation methods:   Don’t come to school sick and  If you traveled over the break, wait a couple of weeks before coming in.  (Guess that directive probably doesn’t apply to teachers).

I must say he has a lot of hutzpah to send EVERYONE back two weeks after an occupancy of probably 10 to a building arguably led to a staff “outbreak”... of course, I am sure all the custodians caught the virus at a mutually attended holiday soiree and NOT at work *cough cough*

Do you know this for a fact? I have heard nothing of the sort - yes there have been positives but no employee-to-employee transmission.

I think he is responsibly responding to parent and teacher desires to get back in classrooms.[/quote]

How on earth would you know there has been no employee transmission?  Has the school been regularly testing all of its building occupants including those who might be asymptomatic?  Yeah, I doubt it.

It galls me how many people in positions of power are using an absence of data as a convenient loophole for bad argumentation.[/quote]

Why would it gall you? Look at their constituents who let them get away with it. Every single thread same mom here is parroting that same line. “It doesn’t spread in schools!”- when community spread is low. When it is high - it does. But our area was just determined to experience that for ourselves. Everyone seems to think it just can’t or won’t be their kid but look, it will be for many of you. I have a friend whose K kid brought it home from school and they all got it. Even the 2 year old with asthma. They went down one by one so were quarantined for 6 weeks total. It could be any of us once all these schools  open in a couple weeks. [/quote]
