[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard that the rumor is that the distancing will be abandoned in the fall. This was derived from a conversation with a PTA leadership member discussing how APS will handle next fall and that in option programs they are likely to be at capacity given the lack of guarantee to maintain your spot. I asked how the issue of spacing would be handled and the response was that APS is likely to abandon the 3ft in order to accommodate all in the fall. I said that would mean this entire year was basically endured for nothing if it will be abandoned in the end as though it is actually without merit. I think we are beyond reason and rationale in APS. If those were driving the decisions, we would have moved to 4 or 5 days a week of in person school. Saying it's too hard when FCPS, which is the largest system in VA is doing it, literally does not add up in any way, shape, or form. So, we are just at the mercy of Duran I guess. I've never been one to call for his firing, etc., but, his apparent comfort with driving things in to the ground and leaning in hard to a very difficult to defend position is beyond comprehension for me.

A potential decision to abandon spacing in the fall (when COVID community numbers will likely be even lower) does not mean spacing is not appropriate now. I would expect CDC to revise guidelines for fall too. Before fall at least age 12+ should be vaccine eligible (and maybe even lower) so I would think high schools can be back to near normal. Lower grades is TBD.[/quote]
