[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re in the upper elementary group, so lessons will be concurrent.  We chose distance learning rather than hybrid and I’m secretly hoping my kid’s teacher will remain virtual (medical exemption?) and the classrooms will have monitors. Is that possible, or will it only be in extraordinary circumstances where some sort of waiver is granted?  Would they notify parents in advance?[/quote]

It’s possible, but highly unlikely.  APS supposedly is taking a very strict approach to ADA accommodations now.[/quote]

APS should follow the law, period.  As long as it’s doing that, no one should complain.[/quote]

I don’t know the laws around ADA but it APS seems to be denying most people that apply. The classroom monitor thing that fcps is doing seems to be less common in APS because fcps approved way more ADA requests.[/quote]

A lot of people are applying for accommodations because they have babies at home or an elderly parent, which aren’t grounds for accommodations under the ADA.[/quote]

A lot of people are applying who do meet the CDC high risk categories: Chronic Kidney disease, transplant recipient etc., and were denied...well, told they qualified for telework, until 'students return"[/quote]
