[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a safety conscious person, but I’m with others.  MCPS has stated, repeatedly, Open 5 days a week, in person, with Masks, and lunch provided for all students(though this doesn’t stop you from packing your own).  If you want lunch seating/location plans reach out to your school.  Anything beyond that is not going to help with your planning.

Sure there will be metrics for quarantine of class or school.  But even if you had those right now, how would that help you as a parent plan? There’s no way to maintain 3ft in all spaces at all times and have full in person school. Hybrid is not a primary plan for fall no matter how much some wish it.  Obviously it can be a contingency because it was utilized last year, just like full DL can be a contingency.

Obviously all CDC recommendations are not going to be implemented.  How do we know? Because they won’t allow 5day in person school for all which is the basic premise.

I know it's frustrating but MCPS couldn't have predicted that there'd be a new surge of an even more contagious variant that affects children at a higher rate when they made those statements.[/quote]

Oh, the hell they couldn't have. India was on fire with this already at that time. [/quote]

If they weren't looking abroad, they can look at certain states now.  They have to airlift people out for hospital beds.[/quote]

Those states have leaders forbidding mask mandates and low vaccination rates. Completely different here.[/quote]

Masks help, vaccines help but it’s not perfect and many kids are not vaccinated so talking about vaccines when the bulk of the school population may be unvaccinated is pointless.  [/quote]
Its not poibtless. It reduces risk but not eliminates it. That ship has sailed if it was ever even a possibility to contain this. [/quote]
