[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get it. if the grocery stores are safe then the managers should be there. And the regional managers should be stopping in periodically for the day. Seems to me that the school board and senior leaders can handle a live meeting every 2 weeks if community spread makes it safe enough to return to school![/quote]

It’s been explained repeatedly.  If you’re incapable of understanding, we can’t help you.[/quote]

“Teachers and kids and the lowest paid earners like grocery store clerks and servers should be at work at risk but everyone else should still be able to work at home safely.” We know. [/quote]

+1. If the School Board said, "Hey, we are meeting virtually because we want to keep community spread as low as possible, and we want the BOS and our national leaders to shut down all non-essential businesses and require telework for everyone who is not an essential worker so that schools can remain open and health systems don't get overrun", that would be one thing. They aren't saying that. They're meeting virtually because THEY don't want to risk exposure to Covid but can't say so because it's terrible optics.

School Board doesn’t need to be in person to do their job effectively. Teachers do.[/quote]

Disagree. My kids are doing great with virtual learning, thanks to their teachers. I would also disagree that the School Board has been doing an effective job virtually. Maybe they should try meeting in person.[/quote]

+1000.  Just wait. If APS forces teachers hands to come back at height of pandemic, it will only take a small percentage of them quitting to bring grade levels at various schools to a halt. Particularly high school
And middle school.  They will end up having to offer those teachers DL with aides in the classroom.  They cannot hire a bunch of teachers at this point.  The whole thing is ludicrous.  Watch what happens. [/quote]

They won’t have to quit. They will get exposed or sick and have to quarantine and when there aren’t enough staff in the building to cover each others classes it won’t work. Exposure to a confirmed contact is 10 school days out. [/quote]
