[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s not directly covid related.

Teachers and staff might need to stay after school for sports and clubs as well and [b]perhaps the 2 weeks was to not overwhelm teachers and staff with extra responsibilities [/b]who might be struggling with other issues at home or something like that. Just a thought. [/quote]

ugh. really?!
Not any more additional responsibility than they've voluntarily signed up for and have done in the past.  
Besides, it is obviously a precaution post-holiday gatherings to let any potential COVID outbreak subside .... however, I disagree with the policy.  I would think hundreds of kids in close quarters all day long during school poses a bigger risk of spread and outbreak than extracurricular meetings and practices.  If APS doesn't want to expose kids to other teams in other districts and large spectator crowds, that's one thing.  Just cancel the games, then.  But if extracurricular kids are being tested every day anyway, no riskier than returning to school full-time.  [/quote]
