[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish he'd be forward looking.  It feels like APS is always 3-6 months behind.  For instance:

I wish he'd start making plans for outdoor classes to begin once the weather turns in the spring.  Buy tents.  Consider options.  Put together a plan now, not in April.

I wish he'd find a corporate partner for testing.  Would Amazon or Nestle help fund testing so students can go back?  What about Kaiser or Inova or CVS?

I wish he'd look into improved ventilation and HEPA filters.  We can't consider fixing ventilation without his office putting together an estimate. If the vaccine efforts arent successful, we'll need better ventilation for a safe return in fall 2021.

I wish he'd acknowledged the massive learning loss happening and make rigorous plans for summer school.  It's entirely plausible that schools will end up being closed to in person education for a full year (March-March).  Couldn't we try to make that up with a large summer school effort this summer?  For this, planning needs to start now.  Seek funding.  Hire teachers.  Sort out who would attend.  Start prepping parents and teachers.  Plan to start overcoming those losses.[/quote]
