[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with making every effort to open 5 days a week by the fall. I do NOT agree with the APE position to open all levels of school NOW.  And they literally mean NOW. I agree with opening NOW, or at least soon, for K-2 who want to go back and kids with disabilities and struggling EL students.  I think the idea of opening NOW for middle and high school with changing classes and increased vulnerability to the virus is simply unsupported in both the science and frankly, not nearly as urgent in terms of the data on learning loss.

You will come up with some reason in the fall they can’t open.  That’s why should open now, people like you.[/quote]

Why would a parent who wants school open suddenly not want school open in fall? It makes complete sense for them to stay closed til Q4 die numbers for come down and those who can to get vaccinated. I am certain all teachers, myself included, see 5 days with masks being very possible in fall and hopefully that’s where we are but we don’t need to rush unvaccinated people in in the PEAK in January for that to happen in august.

Another APS ES parent here. All of this. Would like to see hybrid in Q4. And a plan for being open in the fall 5 days a week. With masks as needed. But opening now at the height of the pandemic is just dumb. Especially with being so close to teachers getting the vaccine. I chose hybrid but if they open now I won't be sending my kid in.[/quote]

I agree with you. I also don't think the posters on here that are advocating for schools to open necessarily mean here and now. What we need, is a clear plan and timeline. 9 months in without this is just ridiculous. We are supposed to be an esteemed school district with high standards. Look at all the private schools that have been able to figure this out. Do we need plastic dividers between desks? Temperature checks for everyone, every morning? Whatever we need to get a plan in place to reopen is what a lot of us are pushing for right now. [/quote]
Can’t speak for people on here. But the APE parents speaking at school board meetings and the one who babbles on incoherently at my school PTA meeting are advocating to immediately open schools.  And they claim everyone who chose hybrid agrees with them. Ha![/quote]
