[quote=Anonymous]Whether you want in person learning or virtual, the reality is that we need to learn to live with Covid. It mutates and this time the mutation works around the vaccinations like the flu does some years. Those with vaccinations and boosters fair pretty well and can return after 5 days based on CDC guidance provided that a person remains masked.

MCPS needs to build contingency plans into the school calendar for spikes in infections. They should be looking ahead and planning for FY 23 so they aren’t in the same boat next year.

Staff might need more mental health support because it is scary and stressful with the demands when a school is short staff for long periods of time.

Most importantly, how is all the chaos affecting learning and students? Should the end of the second quarter be extended?

Education should be built around teaching students what they need to know in a manner that is safe for staff and students. If the ability to teach students is jeopardized by extreme staffing shortages, shouldn’t the system be flexible enough to pause, let staff heal, and come back with school when the rates go down? Contracts should not be driving policy in a national health emergency. With all the lawyers MCPS pays, don’t they have clauses in the contracts to allow flexibility?
