[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are too many lawyers in the DMV area.  The culture is determined by a bunch of litigious, anxious, insecure assholes.  That’s why we can’t have nice things here.[/quote]

Actually there is a lot of focus on kids here- kid safety- when the real drivers here both in terms of spreaders of infection and those at risk for serious illness/ death are the adult employees ( teachers, staff , house keepers, lunch crew, janitors, etc...)

Schools could re-open safely but they are shooting themselves in the foot by putting their Facilities Director in change- a person who is most concerned about profit/ cost and has no medical credientials to inform planning. Add to that corporate greed based HR that, pre- pandemic was looking to cut faculty benefits anyway while paying self and HOS more AND facilities director MORE and you now have perfect storm of:

illegal employment practices such as failing to inform teachers of all 5 of the DC Mayor's listed medical leave pre-existing qualifying conditions

conflict of interest riddled Admin teams and Boards who are killing the trust of their teachers and parents

no independent medical oversight = dysfunction and inability to serve their students[/quote]

All of you stoking the same DC vs. MD vs. VA....read the newspaper.

Unless your private has students communing from Danville or Mecklenburg County, [b]our metrics in the entire metro area are are below community spread levels. [/b]You are blowing smoke because you personally benefit from DL and are stringing along increasingly desperate weak arguments to keep it going. Old news and it won’t last much longer.[/quote]

Uh, no they're not. ??. I'm not advocated for full DL (our school is open on a hybrid model and doing well), but where are you getting your statistics? Community spread is defined as 1-9 cases per 100,000 people on rolling 7 day average. No county in the DMV is anywhere near that.

This website is politically motivated. No wonder we are still DL. Our board members can’t tell the difference between political bs data and valid public health data.[/quote]
