[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not concerned because our charter is transparent and shares stats with teachers and families.  We are already at high 70% and that’s with having ECE kids not eligible for vaccinations yet.  Majority of remaining 23% are the ECE kids.

Teachers and families have a right to know general percentages and should demand so.[/quote]

NP and I mean this as an honest question- why do you think teachers and families deserve to know vaccination percentages at their school? I don’t think of that as a right.  [/quote]

Of course it’s not a civil right but yes it’s important to know the vaccination rates in schools, just as it’s transparent the vaccination rates and breakdown in DC during a pandemic. Vaccination percentages and new cases is what you need to know in your community to understand risk, transmission of new variants, etc.,

If you don’t think so then you obviously aren’t following science and don’t know much about public health and how it affects your community. [/quote]

I’m fully vaccinated and boosted so actually no I don’t care about case numbers.  Most are completely benign and I don’t think it’s an important public health measure for policy choices at this point.

I also don’t need vaccination rates among kids at my school.[/quote]

Proving you don’t know about public health or care about your community.[/quote]

Do people like this really think there are people among us who hate our communities? I don’t get it. Why is it so hard to understand that people do different things with different information? [/quote]

Ok but there is no information if your school isn’t telling you what their vaccination rate is.  [/quote]

Check the vaccination rates in the city or in your ward.  That should be enough to inform whatever decisions you make.  Individual school level vaccination rates are not necessary.  [/quote]

The community vaccination rate which is near 70% does not correlate to the school vaccination rate.  Some schools with majority higher socioeconomic families are in the 70’s while other schools, more likely lower SES are way lower than 29%, and that is why you get a total of 29% in the city.[/quote]

OP here. I’m totally clear on why 29% is what we have now, I’m a DC resident and now the demographics and views of residents and the possible reasons for them. I was specifically interested to hear everyone opinion on what exactly happens when DC leadership realized at the end of august only 50% (and I personally think it might be a reach for me to guess suck high number) of kids 5-11 are fully vaccinated.
