[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the county-wide numbers of who in Arlington is getting Covid. It’s mostly LatinX kids and mostly South Arlington.

It is a disadvantage for the kids already disadvantaged, but classroom and individual school closures do make more sense at the elementary level than closing the whole system. [/quote]

sorry, but that wouldn't be equitable.[/quote]

It’s not equitable, but life also isn’t fair. It’s just another result of the way affordable housing is placed in the county and the way boundaries are drawn. We are a large county, not a school system with 5 or 6 elementary schools and 1 HS. Are we really going to shut down the whole school system every time there is an outbreak in one school? The way the law is written, there can be classroom and school specific closures. From a public health sense, I think that makes sense. The inequality is a symptom of a larger issue that no one seems to want to solve.  [/quote]

The inequality results from many things, including zoning, nimbyism, racism....[/quote]
