[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family still lives in upstate NY where I am from. They opened for hybrid instruction at the beginning of the school year in September and have stayed open this whole time even though their #s resemble ours. I don't know why we are so behind here in VA. There are successful models for them to follow, they don't need to reinvent the wheel. [/quote]

Is this in the rural part of upstate NY?

What are the capacity numbers for those schools? How many 100s of extra kids are crammed into each school building?

What % of families have health insurance and PTO for work?

Circumstances might be a wee bit different here in Arlington.

DP. My family is in western NY. Suburban schools of mid-size cities. Just like here, there’s rich people and poor people, although not as ethnically diverse as here. Very good education (rivals APS), of course the richer school districts are “better” than the less well-off ones, no surprise there. Most districts were back to hybrid in fall, a few 5 days a week in person, and the last stragglers at least hybrid after the holidays. It’s really not all that different from Arlington. This is not some super special little bubble where the issues of RTS are vastly different. We’re really not all that special.

The biggest difference is that individual towns are the school districts, instead of counties, so maybe it makes it easier to execute change. [/quote]
