I think it does matter- reenrollment rates are public, after all.

--so this the CARES plan, in place. They are addressing some of the needs through this.

Does anyone know what those kids are doing when there are no virtual classes taking place? Is there additional enrichment or is this kid jail?

“kid jail”?

I say this as a parent who is desperate for school to reopen, and disappointed in the decision, but also trust the school and want to go back only when it’s safe to do so.

I'm also a parent and have not seen this, despite attending all parent meetings. Also, the school's oddly worded (and obviously biased) survey of parents did not suggest...well...much of anything, since it was such a bad survey.
