[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s about 70 percent overall. Or was back in December. You can do the math.    Adds up to roughly 100 each lunch for grades 7 and 8.  Keeping mine home.  Too many parents too blasé about the virus in this part of N Arl. Do not want kid maskless in a room with 90+ of their kids! I’ll wait til cases are lower or they figure out lunch.  Or both.  [/quote]

Based on the numbers given at the PTA meeting, about 60% of 6th graders are doing hybrid.  What’s the source for 70%?[/quote]

The principal reported 70% at the Dec PTA meeting. More families should really tune in....[/quote]

The beginning of that meeting didn’t get recorded, and it looks like that discussion was in the part that was cut off so anyone who listened to the recording later wouldn’t have heard it.  In the Q&A asking whether the info was public, he said again it was “roughly” 70/30, which means it could be something less than 70% who selected hybrid.[/quote]

Really? Well it was part of the beginning of the meeting, but later there was continued back-and-forth with an open schools now parent who kept quoting it but saying begrudgingly that she wouldn’t report it outside the meeting. (she asked to use the percentages in the public comments part of the  school board meeting to prove how many families really want to go back, principal said he preferred not to since it would not have been reported officially at the school board meeting yet). It was very odd and awkward. Anyhow, true it could be 68 or 69 but regardless he didn’t say 60 or 50. He said 70/30. [/quote]

And in the February meeting he kept referring to return to school dates being in February rather than March.  He misspeaks sometimes (as we all do), so I’d want something more concrete than a rough approximation spoken in a meeting (especially one he didn’t want anyone repeating, which suggests to me he may not have been confident in its accuracy).

When Mr. K gave the numbers for 6th grade discussed by the poster above, he was talking in specific and consistent terms about the auditorium with designated spaces seating having a capacity of 72, that they could add some extra chairs in the back to bring that number up to 80 if necessary, and that they didn’t the anticipate needing more than that.  That estimate feels a bit more credible to me because it was consistent throughout the discussion.  [/quote]
