[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an interesting approach. It puts the power in the hands of the schools. At my childrens' es the principal is close to retirement and i think is in a position with DCPS to keep the school as closed as possible. Also we simply do not have many at risk kids as a smaller sample to start reopening with. [b]I assume DCPS will put more pressure on schools with high at risk populations[/b]. Perhaps DCPS thinks that pitting school comunities against one another by creating unfairness will build pressure for schools to open. Without being able to bargain with the union it seems this is the best they can up with. The communication around this at the school level is very non-transparent. [/quote]

This is going to be school specific. We have high parent demand and low at-risk population. Teachers have been told that they will build classroom around teachers that volunteer first and the balance of the classrooms (based on demand) will have [b]a teacher who will be assigned from the lottery[/b]. A couple of our grades have more than 60% of families responding that they want in person school starting term 3.

Stay tuned for how the WTU responds this week to the bolded part in my response.[/quote]

Does what you are saying imply that every child needing an in person spot will be accommodated five days per week? Or is this only for at-risk children? Thanks. You are right the lottery idea is sure to make waves. [/quote]

No one is going to go five full days. It’s hybrid for sped and ell.  Everyone else is dl.  Unless you are PreK-2, then you get five 1/2 days.  No one is getting 5 days. We are getting rid of the care rooms. [/quote]

Not at my school, none of this has been decided and it's certainly not going to be only sped and ell kids the building. We have significant parent request for in person learning and the principal is responding.[/quote]

But does your principal have the building space to meet the demand while following CDC guidelines? Therein lies the problem
