[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Staff was told verbally (guessing this was intentional). Only know of ES phases:  PK-K go back in January; 1st and 2nd February; 3rd through 5th in March.[/quote]

I don't know if you are APS, but this time line is completely inaccurate now.  All will be back in mid Februrary.[/quote]
I was regretting picking DL and foreclosing any hybrid for the year til I saw this. I hope for the sake of those who did choose hybrid that this isn’t true.  This is basically APS caving to APE and the Wash Post. Drama and fear of publicity over science and safety for staff and students. [b] I hope they start to have fully staffed live school board meetings BEFORE they send teachers back to the classroom. [/b][/quote]

This.  AND that all of central office is working[b] in the office[/b], not from home, before they tell us it is "safe" to send our kids into school.  [/quote]

I think they should have to work in schools, with children, first.[/quote]

Agree 100%. No one should be sent into a classroom until the school board, central offices, and BOS resume all meetings in person. And they have to have lunch together in those same meeting rooms, too. [/quote]

I realize (hope?) you are all being facetious,  it this is just stupid.  If we’re going to open schools, we need everyone else taking every measure possible to minimize the risk of transmission so no one catches it at home or at a school board meeting and then brings it into the schools.  I support opening schools (hybrid, masks, distancing, etc.), but am also willing to otherwise lock down as much as possible to help keep schools safe (and have been doing so all along so as to not risk contributing to virus spread that would make it more dangerous).[/quote]

I can’t speak for the other PPs, but I am not being facetious at all when I say I support this 100 percent. If it’s safe enough for teachers and school staff to be in these buildings with children, it’s safe enough for the decision makers.[/quote]

Then maybe all of the lawyers should be back in the office before grocery store employees have to work in-store.  Makes about as much sense.[/quote]
