Following SF's lead. I wouldn't say that he's wrong.

The constitution ensures equal access to education. Since all students are learning from a distance, they are all getting equal access.

I don't think the parent will win, but equal access doesn't me the same access, which is what you're calling equal.

Keep your kid home

No. None. Because a) it is guidance, not mandate or law and b) parents did not have to send their kids. Physical attendance wasn’t compulsory and c) it is well established mitigation can be faulty and you’re taking that risk.

Students have the option to continue with distance learning for the rest of the year. If you send your child back in person, you are assuming the risk. A better question would be whether staff could sue if they become seriously ill if they're required to go back in person even though the county did not follow CDC guidelines. Most of us are vaccinated, but not everyone will have time for the second shot to be fully effective before students return on Tuesday.

I hope APS is more worried about being sued by all the special needs kids they are failing.

I hope APS/FCPS countersues for any attorney fees for any fools who sue over “guidelines.”

The current FCPS plan follows the old and new CDC guidelines.

You can sue if you want to waste your money and taxpayers' money. You shouldn't though.

Yes, APS can be sued. No, the suing party will not win.

Anyone can sue for anything in this country. Teachers can sue students too, if students fail to follow guidelines.

Of course not. CDC has no authority over local school districts. Its a list of suggestions with no legal power.

Of course, can sue. Winning would be hard.
