[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully agree with the posts stating how unhealthy and unsafe the current situation is. 
Additionally, how reckless and useless the school board is. Catering to the loudest and most ignorant parents.

But, despair not. The situation is already bad, thanksgiving and Christmas will make it worse. DL will be in place during Q3 and we will see how much of Q4.

I felt this was the case until I read the recent board docs. Have you seen them? The metrics are so high and the threshold to revert to DL is so restrictive. 5 days in school AFTER the metrics are hit. That is so dangerous! There’s no consistency either. If we revert to DL er can’t go back to hybrid until both metrics have been below threshold for 5 straight days. Yet they’re phasing in kids while one of the metrics is VERY elevated ... how does that make sense? Not to mention they set these metrics as a last minute surprise agenda item in a boundaries meeting... there was clearly not much thought out into them. That’s why they’re SO much higher than literally every other districts. [/quote]

I’m in LEA. Works are in progress to obliterate these metrics. If staff decides to look out for their health over raging parents school districts really can’t do much. Plus, people seem to forget collective bargaining is months away...[/quote]

The problem is “staff looking out for their health” = good dedicated teachers being forced to leave jobs they love and otherwise wouldn’t leave. That hurts the kids and it’s a terrible thing for teachers to have to choose. Yes we have the right to make that choice but leaving your job and students behind mid year to protect your health is so damn sad. [/quote]

The likelihood of a masked and distanced teacher catching Covid at school is vanishingly small. The data supports this. It’s time to start making decisions with facts.[/quote]

The issue is distance isn’t happening very well in schools. Our colleagues already in confirm this. With more students + higher numbers you will see cases increase . They could maybe keep it at k-2 with mitigation but phasing in everyone else in winter with sky high metric thresholds is a horrible idea. There are already active student and teacher cases.
