[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's start a civil list of obtainable accommodations that parents can help with to get our kids in school in person (whether hybrid or full time)  anytime between now and next year. (Aside from basic cdc guidelines which seem to not be enough to all)
Reasonable 
parents sending in extra masks with kids 
parent volunteer list to clean between classes/ on off days where there may not be custodial help.
Be NICE to teachers- we need you!

Unreasonable

New ventilation system

I love your idea. However, I feel like the federal and state government are the only ones that can really get me what I want.

1. testing (&lt;48 hour turn around) and contact tracing 
2. reasonably low community spread (&lt;5% positivity rate)
3. improved ventilation in my classroom OR party tent to teach outside OR windows that open (and I bring in fan)
4. leave and substitutes (or switch to online) if I test positive and reasonable quarantine for students who test positive.
5. Students who are sick do NOT come to school (paid leave for parents to take care of their sick children)
6. Supplies for students = desks, books, paper, pencils, hand soap, tissues, markers, etc. Before you laugh at this: My brother works for MCPS and has these things. I work for a different area where I do not have them.

If parents want to get their kids back in school then they should support reform that will fund the above.

Parents can give me masks and come help clean and monitor hand washing. However, at some point, with no sick leave for covid, I might get sick. I will have to take unpaid time to quarantine and/or recover and may have lingering effects. Who will take care of my children and my dog while I recover? Who will cover my classes while I am out? I am lucky because I am low risk and not as worried about being in the ICU or dying, but I do worry about these other things. [/quote]
