Okay, so MCPS should continue doing next to nothing.[/quote]

Now you're learning! That's the MCPS way.[/quote]

I realize that all of you love to disparage MCPS, but many other districts are in the same boat. Howard County, a much smaller district, which actually did purchase upgraded HVAC filters and PPE over the summer, is not much closer to having a return to school plan than MCPS.  They are bringing some small groups in for supervised distance learning (the teachers won't be there), but that's it. There is no plan for more. If they do come up with a plan, the return would be no earlier than February 1. Obviously, that seems like the worst possible time for in-person, during the winter and cold and flu season, so it probably won't happen. Board members have stated expressly that they prioritize health and safety (primarily of teachers and staff) over any other considerations and disparaged the only Board member who raised any concerns.

At least Howard is making progress. I think it would generally be agreed that HVAC systems need to be have some upgrades done. MCPS is still in the process of finding funding, and schools have been closed for 7 months now.

If I broke my leg so I can't drive my car, but I also know my car needs a new oil filter until I can drive it, should I wait until my leg is healed to get the oil filter changed, or get it done while I'm still in recovery?[/quote]
