[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No inside info, but until there’s a vaccine, 100% back in the classroom will not happen. There’s just not enough space, teachers or busses. No school system was designed to support the constraints that will be in place until a vaccine is widely available.

Sorry to be a down, I just don’t think it’s going to happen. [/quote]

+1.  I recently read the updated MD state superintendent report which analyzed how buses would work w/respect to the CDC guidelines.  The conclusion was, that [b]complying with CDC guidelines meant each bus holding 77 students would now only be able to carry 8.   [/b]

The options for school presented are 1 day/week, 2/day a week or A/B weeks.  There is no discussion at all of a full time normal return to school.  All of society needs to realize this and adjust accordingly -- it's not just about what parents will do.  All businesses and activities that interact with kids or parents of kids (which is basically every place) need to reconfigure to support that.

That means things like -- flexible work policies that include working form home at a vastly extended range of hours.  [/quote]

The same CDC guidelines that told employers to tell their employees to avoid public transportation and drive themselves to work?

The same CDC guidelines that have not yet been revised to take into account that public transportation is demonstrably safe?

Shields for the bus drivers, open the bus windows, require masks. There, done.
