[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just Janney. Banneker shut down its entire Summer Institute earlier this month after a positive test--and the entire student body is presumably old enough to be vaccinated. No teaching, distance learning, emailed homework, or anything occurred while it was closed.[/quote]

yes.  It does not appear that schools are allowed to (as a teacher said up thread) "keep our wits about us and be reasonable".

If there is a case, anyone in that room is being sent HOME FOR 10 DAYS.  Period.  
 
Which is why I'm really concerned.  DCPS is not being nuanced about this.  They are putting down the hammer and sending home entire cohorts for 10 days with ANY case. [/quote]

Yep. And to be clear, at the Banneker Summer Institute, kids were shuttled into single rooms to sit all day without any mixing, and 9th graders and 10th graders came in on alternating days, AND THEY ALL GOT SENT HOME. This is not just anyone in a single room--this affected more than 200 kids[/b].[/quote]

Wow.  This is insanity.

So I guess there will be no consistent in-person middle or high school in DC this year.

This is really depressing.  [/quote]
