[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at some point, the public's patience with everything being closed will end. people won't live like this forever. the idea that we're going to keep doing all this, and we'll just do distancing learning, until a vaccine is widely available is not realistic.

I am one of those people losing patience.  And I am a teacher who would like to return to full time in person school in the fall (we at least can dream, right?)[/quote]

Has anyone started a petition to reopen DC schools next year?  I'd love to sign it.  Seems like Bowser is determined to go as slow as possible - and her plan is for schools to not reopen fully until there is a vaccine or an effective treatment (whatever that standard is).  Haven't heard a peep out of the Council.  Feels like there is an unorganized groundswell out there that has not had a collective way to voice their opinion.[/quote]

Good idea to get more views out into the public but do you think that reopening is really a political decision vs a health/safety one? If the Department of Health or the CDC says it is ok to open schools under whatever conditions, schools will open. If Department of Health or CDC says that it is not ok, schools won't. How would a petition or organized effort change that? [/quote]
