[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe it's 11am on Sunday and none of the eleven schools that have been sent virtual have a clue if  they will be returning back to in-person tomorrow or will remain virtual.  I understand people need a weekend but when you're running "the largest school system in MD" you need to make some sacrificies and show some leadership.  It is embarassing that I'm just a school based leader but I've been working throughout winter break and this weekend on contingency plans for my red school.  My boss, however, seems to be MIA.[/quote]

I'm wondering why only those 11 schools were quarantined?  Who's kids are attending school there?  BOE?  CO?  That's something that BethesdaBeat should start looking into..[/quote]

My child is at one of those schools. I think the whole thing was an accident - they set that 5% threshold thinking only a few schools would make it and our 11 schools did initially. Then it ended up being the majority of schools within a few days. Who knows why we exceeded the threshold first, perhaps our schools were opting in to testing more? More outbreaks before the break? But now there are many schools that have surpassed us in overall rates. I do not think any of the BOE send their kids to Germantown/Upcounty schools but I could be wrong - I doubt that played a part. I think parents and teachers were just tired of being jerked around and having to plan day-by-day rather than week-by-week. Regardless, its not been great from this side of the grass either. Noone likes virtual, most especially teenagers.
