I completely agree that the health metrics should govern reopening decisions. But unless the plan is to re-open fully, the details of reopening using a hybrid model need to be worked out.   [/quote]

There are only two ways to do a hybrid schedule.

A)  Teacher teaches half the class in person one day and then half the class in person the other day.  On days at home kids do asynchronous activities.

B)  Teacher teaches half the class in person AND half the class online at the same time.

Private schools can choose some version of (A) but in MD, public schools cannot, unless the state of MD decides to allow asynchronous learning hours to count for attendance purposes.  They will not do this, so MD public schools are going to have to choose option (B) which I can right now guarantee to you will absolutely suck. It will especially suck for kids with special needs.[/quote]

Our kids are in private this year, and they do (B). It works fine. The class size is about 10-15 in class and 5-10 online. There's a camera in the classroom. Total class size is 25. How many are online varies depending on the situation, like one girl in my daughter's class had her college-aged brother come back for break, so they kept her home on DL for 2 weeks to make sure the brother didn't bring anything.[/quote]
