[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But also it seems like at least a third of families are turning down offers. My kid was offered a spot at her title 1 school, where the majority are also ELL. We don’t fit any “high priority category” once the achool made all those offers they said they randomly selected from everyone else.  There are probably a lot of seats still open in total. The problem is that each school is having to determine their own plan and the Union is making it impossible to plan.[/quote]

+1.

It also seems like DCPS/powers-that-be are confusing "people aren't accepting seats" with "not that many people actually want in-person." I'd guess that most people actually do want and need to go back, but not under these conditions.

I'm fully on-board with in-person, but the only option at our elementary school (for my kid's grade) would be a CARES classroom that spans multiple grades, where we've been told they can sit in one place with a tablet and that's it. The options are limited, the school videos look like hospital ads, and many families are understandably afraid because DCPS hasn't invested in solid public health education around how this virus even works. Argh, so exasperating.[/quote]
