[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised it was a hybrid/ concurrent model and not just a concurrent one.  Couldn’t we have just bought some extra trailers or rented space with the CARES money?  Who knows?  Unfortunately, leadership just charges ahead with a plan without soliciting feedback from stakeholders, first.[/quote]

And how to you multiply teachers to put in those extra trailers/ rented spaces?[/quote]

DP, but [b]what about using the hired classroom monitors[/b]? Ask those teachers who put in ADA requests to accept the vaccine as their reasonable accommodation (I understand that not all teachers can take this, but I imagine many can). Yes, you'll still be projecting the teacher to the kids in the trailers half time or something, but you'd at least have them in the building. Or you space the bigger classes way out in the gym, use microphones and the monitors make sure the kids in the back aren't goofing off. Basically this model, which was working even BEFORE vaccines in a public school district:

The ones FCPS cannot hire enough of under the current plan?[/quote]

They [i]might[/i] not need as many just to spread classes out, given that across the county only 60% of kids want to come back (based on the summer survey numbers). It'd be highly school dependent.[/quote]
