[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do have a okan. It's to open schools with masks and  everything else normal until and if kids and teachers start dropping like flies. Not sure what else you want to hear? They have a plan,  now it's up to principals to start implementing their individual school set ups. [/quote]

There are school districts in the south that were open ALL of last year that are now being forced to go virtual.  Delta is different.

Francis Collins yesterday:

"This is really a different virus than last year, and everything we learned about COVID a year ago, you got to sort of hit the reset button on now how we need to react to it," Collins said.”

Where is the reset button FCPS???[/quote]

Reset for what? You want to have another virtual year?

We have to stop comparing to other schools. These schools did have to close last year for times. Do you remember the famous picture last year of a crowded Georgia high school hallway and then they went virtual for a few weeks?

The reality is that in THIS AREA private and catholic schools were open all year even with quarantine or disturbances. And we didn’t open at all which is just ridiculous. We need to be open this year. [/quote]

Ha, yeah...'reset' is code for "where is our DL-for-all?" The difference is that these schools forced to close down are doing it temporarily to "flatten the curve" or "reset" if you will. They'll be right back in-person in a few weeks. I believe FCPS would behave likewise. I.e., you're not getting "DL-for-all" for the entire next school year. [/quote]

I have a senior and want her in school unless kids are bleeding from their eyeballs.  To me “reset” means updating quarantining protocols and clarifying for parents (with FCHD) when kids will quarantine. Does my asymptomatic + kid have to miss 2 weeks of school?  Does a “close contact”? What’s a close contact for a vaxxed kid with masks?  Someone at her lunch table?  If kids get delta once and are exposed, do we start over?  And if so, she’s carrying 5 APs this year. There needs to be a better plan communicated for keeping on top of school work than, “like an ordinary sick day”.   It’s very unusual for kids to be out sick for 2 weeks. Is there going to be an asynchronous recording of classes to watch, or ???[/quote]

You need to tell Brabrand, Ivey, your regional superintendent, and your school board member that they must give families a plan star. The lack of a solid plan is frustrating to everyone.[/quote]

Because they GAF what parents think? (spoiler alert: nope). [/quote]

Only if there are a large number of them yelling loudly. Even Jay Matthews acknowledged in WaPo that school leaders try to keep large angry crowds away from school board meetings.

Demanding the plan only works if lots of people do it.[/quote]
