[quote=Anonymous]The takeaway here is that the reopening plan is left to each school to determine given the differences in numbers, space, teachers willing/able to return. That makes sense, I guess, but I feel for the families with weak principals. But then again, a weak principal here and there is probably better than MCPS forcing a one size fits all model on all of the schools.

I really like the idea of reshuffling classes so one group is 100% virtual and the other is 100% in person because it is very difficult for teachers to teach both groups of kids at one time--especially for younger kids. Yes, it's complicated, but everything about this return to school plan is beyond complicated so this seems like a bit more work up front for simplicity down the road. It doesn't sound like a lot of schools are doing this though.

Our principal mentioned that she can't require teachers, paras, staff etc to get vaccinated before they return to school. She said "it's a personal choice." Setting aside issues with vaccine availability, how can this be left to "personal choice"? Private schools require every single human in the building to be vaccinated as a condition of their contract. It's a safety issue every bit as much as certain industries like construction requiring drug testing for construction workers.
