[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the biggest concern, as a parent, was DCPS pretty much admitting they had no plans for when an outbreak occurred.  There was no metric for when a cohort/grade/school would close.  They would only say they would send an email.  This was something that was obviously going to happen but they had not even planned for it. [/quote]

And to reiterate, THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO DC. Also, stop bashing the teachers and the teachers' union which is advocating for its members health and safety AS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. Y'all keep using equity as a reason to open schools, but you completely fail to take into consideration that there are large numbers of Black and Latino employees of the DC school system (teachers, administrators, OSSE bus drivers, cafeteria attendants, paraprofessionals, office staff) all of whom would be exposed and whom we know are more vulnerable. So what about equity for them? (Many of you are white, white-collar professionals who are working from home, so when you're talking about equity in schools and NOT talking about who is paid least and would bear the brunt of infections ... it sounds a little hollow.

Plus, there is not one single school system in our immediate vicinity that has in-person school for the first term. As a PP pointed out, NOT ONE SINGLE SCHOOL SYSTEM in the areas of VA and MD that border on DC is doing in-person instruction beginning August 31.[/quote]
