    I think we will be in school 5 days a week. That being said, I just read an article that said in MO there are 12 kids in the PICU and 10 on ventilators. I hope we don't get to that point here.

I haven't really researched much into SB 1303 but I was wondering what happens if there is a virus (not saying it has to be covid) that poses a significant clear and present danger. Something with a high mortality rate. Would the bill prevent schools from being closed?

Right- and if APS (or any other district) closes schools because they are concerned about the Delta variant, what is anyone going to do? Is there any enforcement mechanism? It's just hard for me to envision a scenario where APS says they can't open schools because of Delta variant, and the governor orders them back anyway.

I'm also concerned about the extent to which groups will be quarantined. I'm afraid that if there are any exposures in my kids' schools[b] it will functionally be the same as last year[/b].[/quote]

No, it won't. Last year, there was concurrent learning, so if a kid was home sick, they could still participate in class virtually. This year, there will be no concurrent learning, so if a kid is out sick or quarantined, they will have to make up the work when they get back to school. But most parents hated online learning anyway, so maybe they won't complain.
