[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visited my school to pack.  Not much had changed other than more people wearing masks.  No extra soap, hand sanitizer, signs, plexiglass, temperature checks.  Total lack of effort beyond staying away from the building.  They were offering disposable gloves, but that was it.  I think people should dramatically lower their expectations about what schools can do.  Just getting masks will be difficult.  If doctor's offices can't get it right now, then I don't think schools have much of a chance.  I know we have three months, but I don't think it is enough time for distribution and planning to catch up.  We are still under a stay at home order and that is tying our hands until it lifts.[/quote]

So you are saying we must keep schools closed because the school districts are too incompetent to put even simple precautions in place? They'd rather sacrifice kids' education/socialization and families' livelihoods than get their act together to buy PPE and sanitizers? But somehow they can get Chromebooks and high-speed internet to all the kids in need?[/quote]

We hear posters saying they are writing the BOE to demand a reopen in the fall. [b]Why aren’t they also demanding simple precautions? [/b]It’s either that a) they don’t care about those precautions to protect staff or b) they know MCPS can’t provide those precautions and they don’t want to risk schools not reopening. [/quote]

Because those are MCPS's responsibility to their employees. I am not a MCPS employee, I am a parent with kids in MCPS schools.

First, MCPS needs to decide that they will open. THEN comes the discussion about feasible precautions.[/quote]
