[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ITS is bringing back 20 kids for CARES type classrooms. No chance of in person school for anyone for 6-8 weeks at least.  [/quote]

We have been told IF they bring kids back things like specials, IEP services will stay virtual. It kind of makes since due to those teachers and service providers having too many interactions and opportunities for virus spread between groups.  But also those are some of the most important services to have in-person not offering them in-person is not a equitable arrangement. 
[b]If ITDS is DL in the fall I imagine there will be more families leaving for DCPs, private or moving. I like the school but another year of this wouldn't be the best for our children. [/b]We would be better off having hiring tutor's or at dcps.[/quote]

I am pretty conservative about in-person and support them having been distance learning thus far. I love ITDS. I think they are doing DL well, at least for my kid.  But I. WILL. LOSE. IT. if they do not fully open in person for fall. There is NO REASON this can't be done. There is a vaccine, there is more than enough time to plan, and school in other states are managing to be open without spread even now. IT IS TIME. Kids can't be subjected to this indefinitely.[/quote]

I am in a similar boat.  I'm not pushing fo a fast re-opening.  But it is hard to see so many schools rolling out their plans and ITS not even sending us an email with any sort of information at all.  It feels like the HOS is just running out the clock.  The lack of communication makes me question the entire board and magement of the school.  [/quote]

Not an ITS family but at another charter that has no plan. Who do charters answer to? Where is the PCSB? These schools can't stay closed next year. [/quote]

no one knows what the restrictions will be for numbers of people allowed for indoor gatherings in the fall.  I hope these schools are planning for all contingencies but no one can say for sure what it will look like[/quote]

The PCSB will do nothing for you.  They prioritize "flexibility", including the flexibility to suck and the flexibility to perform worse than DCPS, above actually serving children and families.[/quote]

If you sent your kid to a charter and didn't understand the roles and responsibilities between the charter board and the DCPCSB then you are a bad parent. Ho on earth did you decide to send your kid to a charter without understanding the org structure. Own your ignorance.[/quote]

DCUM's gonna DCUM![/quote]
