[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spread is not occurring in schools.  It’s occurring in the community as a whole, especially in non-school activities without masks. The numbers went up exponentially during a time school was not in session.

Do your children see other children outside of school? Do they wear masks when at a friends house? Have your family gone to a restaurant or traveled during winter break?

Unless we all are going to hunker down in every facet of our lives like we did at the beginning of the pandemic, then COVID will spread. Protect yourself and your loved ones and get vaccinated.[/quote]

So we actually don't know whether spread is or will occur in schools. Kids have not been in school long enough and we haven't been testing enough. But it is clear it's happening without schools so it's unclear what shutting down schools will do to help the spread anyway on a public health level.

MCPS does need to think on the individual level though. There are families that are hunkering down and not going out and forcing their kids to be in in-person school is only creating anxiety and worry for those who have vulnerable conditions themselves or loved ones at home who are not vaccinated or immunocompromised. MCPS should offer options to these families. It's inexcusable not to do so because it's not hard to make teachers attempt to livestream or at least be understanding about grading and excuse assignments if the livestream does not work, etc.[/quote]
