[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked a friend who is in administration for FCPS this exact question. Basically her answer was there is a lot to plan for to get kids back full-time, and they have the runway to do it for the fall but not for the rest of this year. More time to make a plan for lunch and buses, order plexiglass, hire even more monitors (for lunch) if needed, etc.

I don't really buy that argument because they should have been doing it as a contingency all along but that's the Gatehouse reasoning. [/quote]

What have they been doing all year? I'm from Upstate New York and school districts were buying plexiglass last summer and kids are in school five days a week now. [/quote]

CDC said ditch the plexiglass because it impedes airflow and potentially makes the situation worse. I hope they aren't buying plexiglass.[/quote]

Exactly.  Plexiglass is just safety theater.  I don’t even know if any teachers who use theirs.  It is bulky and doesn’t do anything.

My kid sits at a table with another kid, but facing the same direction, with Plexiglass between them.  It does nothing because they not sit behind it and face each other with no plexiglass between them.  Why FCPS wasted $$ on all the plexiglass is one of many mysteries.[/quote]
