[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just advice. DCPS’ CARES classrooms will be 11 children learning on a tablet, while 1-2 adults who are not teachers will watch them. [b]DCPS has 5, really 4, days to find and hire and train these people and also do background checks[/b]..let’s talk about DCPS history with background checks...

Last summer some of you may remember when an after school staff meme we assaulted and had an inappropriate relationship with a student. Not only was a background check never done on the accused adult, but no background checks were completed by the Springboard program that year in most schools. This was a time when DCPS had more than enough time to follow proper procedure and didn’t. I can also tell you that a week or so before the news got out to the public DCPS tried to have the remaining after school teachers submit a background check. They scheduled a date for all the employees to get fingerprinted and then cancelled it. A day later the mess was in the news. These people do not care about the children they just needed to cover their ass. And when they couldn’t stop themselves from looking bad they just somehow made it disappear from the media..

This is all to say..DCPS DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD. You are throwing your child to the wolves with whoever else they can find off the street desperate for employment in a pandemic. They will not have background checks or fingerprints completed in 4 days time. Take your chances but I’ll be keeping me and mine safe from Covid AND predators by rejecting the seat. [/quote]

DC reopening website says on timing for CARES: "This program begins the week of November 16 for students in PK3 to 1st grade, and the week of November 30 for students in grades 2-5. Students will attend school five days a week with a half-day on Wednesdays."[/quote]
