[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in an email conversation with the superintendent and BOE of a school system in a more rural part of MD where we own a second home. They're saying they can't open full-time because the rule of only 15 kids/classroom (I guess based on 6 foot social distancing guidelines).

Per this thread, as I understand it CDC now says they can relax that for schools. Does anyone have a link to the actual CDC guidelines? I found this link but it's dated from May:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/schools.html

They may not be following all the latest news as closely, so if I can point them to CDC guidelines that will alllow less spacing in classrooms, that may convince them.

You are coming from the outside the jurisdiction and want to convince this jurisdiction to change their plans, so you can have full-time school for your kid? Do you see yourself? [/quote]

They haven't made their plans yet. I'm trying to help them, and yes I will admit my goal is for them to have the information that may help them decide in favor of in-person schooling. Being a smaller district, they don't have the resources in terms of staff compared to MCPS. They're probably busy with a million other things as well, and [b]may not have the staff dedicated to following the latest guidance from CDC, AAP, etc as closely[/b]. I'd like to provide that to them.

I'm still amazed they actually write back to me. I'd never expect Jack Smith at MCPS to write back to any emails.[/quote]

Who would want to send their kid to a school that couldn't stay on top of the CDC guidelines? Also do they not have google? [/quote]
