Make that decision and make it know that all schools remain in DL until that metric is met. Do schools reopen fully, 5 days per week for anyone who wants it when that happens?[/quote]

For Prince George's County, that's when some in person instruction for vulnerable groups can begin to occur.  That's been announced since August -- until we are at 10 new cases per 100,000 per day we have been all virtual.

If we get down to 5 new cases per 100,000 per day I think we can do hybrid.

Here is the CDC's guidance on how risky it is for schools to be open based on new cases, per 14 days, per 100,000.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/indicators.html#thresholds

Note that I stated risk in terms of new cases, per DAY.  Not per fortnight!   So you have to multiply my number by 14.

I said that we can open to SOME vulerable students when new cases per day per 100,000 are 10.   That wold be 140 per fortnight.  That puts you in the orange zone according to the CDC's chart -- higher risk of transmission. 
So yes, at that stage you could begin bringing absolutely necessary students such as special needs kids.

PLEASE NOTE that in MD right now we are at about 40-50 new cases per day per 100,000.  We aren't even CLOSE to the 10 we should be at.

50 new cases per 100,000 per day x 14 = 600 new cases per 100,000 per fortnight.  On the CDC chart that is RED zone.  Greater than 200.  HIGHEST risk of transmission.
