• Stokes School will transition to in-person attendance for all students when DC enters Stage 4 of the ReOpen DC Plan and there is an effective vaccine or cure for COVID-19.

This is horrifying. Kids are supposed to sit around with their education on hold for potentially months or years, until there's a vaccine or cure? This will be enormously damaging to the kids, their families, and their future.

Here's my plan

1. Open school in August for non-high-risk students/staff with all feasible risk-reduction measures.
2. Provide distance teaching/learning for school employees and kids who are in high-risk categories or who live with people in high-risk categories.
3. Prepare to close individual schools for two weeks in case of covid exposure.[/quote]

Close them each and every exposure? Hmmm never ending. [/quote]

This. What are the notification requirements. If the kid comes and says my dad has covid. Do they quarantine the kid and close the school? Everyone may already have been exposed? What happens when inevitably kids get sniffles and the flu? Temp checks on the way into schools and turned away if you're sick or sent home? What about busses?
If there was a rapid, cheap and accurate test everyone could take every day then we could open as normal. [/quote]
