[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t as simple a decision as many are making it seem. While most of you are the lucky ones with “typical” children that you want back in school, MCPS serves every child and has a number of programs serving special education students who are some of our most vulnerable. I work in a program where 6 of our students are not able to bathroom themselves- the staff changes them 2-3 times a day at minimum. 2 have feeding tubes. 5 drool. 0 are able to cover their sneezes/coughs. While a few families will make the difficult decision to keep their child home, because Covid may be devastating for them if contracted, others will choose to send their child if school re-opens. The staff working with this population faces a much different situation than a typical classroom. The county has to think about many more individuals than those that are low risk.[/quote]

Of course they do.  Special accommodations can be made.  But that tiny population can't be permitted to control whether the entire county opens for in-person instruction.  [/quote]
