[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuesday is a go and PPR is going down! Even if we only get a few weeks it will help so much! So happy for the 3-5th graders.[/quote]

The PPR going down slightly doesn’t even matter. That just means more people are testing. And setting it at 10% was insanity to begin with but they waited until it was at 8.7 to even bother to set metrics so they were cornered into setting them way too high. What is really worrisome is the local case average is over 300/100,000 now. That’s insane. And it was only 200 about 10 days ago. I had to pick hybrid for my kids back in the summer so they’re scheduled to phase in next week. I’m not sending them. It is the height of stupidity that Loudoun is phasing in 7k kids and teachers RIGHT as everyone is predicting a massive surge from holiday gatherings and travel. [/quote]

Masks and spacing work. It’s time for people to acknowledge that. You don’t have to send your kids. The kids who want to go should go. I’m praying the PPR stays just low enough to allow school to continue.[/quote]

It doesn’t need to stay low. It can be high as hell and school will be in. Go look at the board docs for 12/1. There will be no return to DL unless Loudoun is at BOTH >200 AND 10% positive and even if they do hit both of those, the transition to DL won’t happen for 5 more school days. Now, despite the fact both would have to below the threshold for 5 days to return to hybrid again, new phasing is a-ok to move forward next week even though case average is WELL beyond the 200 at this point and not dropping. So students can GO in with one of those above threshold but they couldn’t go BACK in if one was above the threshold. Which doesn’t make a ton of sense.

I’m not worried about the only 31% of families in the whole county who chose this. Whatever. They’re fine with the risk apparently. But it is really terrible for the teachers who will be forced to go to school with numbers sky high and metrics set at a level nearly impossible to trigger a return to DL with their own health at risk, especially if they can’t afford to leave.

If teachers are sick with covid there’s a new entry in the system called covid sickness. for when they aren’t able to report to work. I think it doesn’t take off their personal leave for obvious reasons.  So when a lot of staff are sick DL will be inevitable. Whatever the foam-spewing mediocre parents want is unimportant. They’ll have to take the DL or nothing. It’s really that simple. [/quote]
