Our backup plan is to move in with DH's parents in Florida where schools will always be fully open barring a major hurricane.

I have an older student - I might drop them off at the school each day and inform the school that IEP is not being met at home.
I will repeat this daily and then do parental placement and have the district pay for private.

I will teach my own kid. I like it.

We enrolled one in a private school. If things get so bad, we'll pull the other one if if needed. Our charter does seem VERY focused on being in person, though. So I doubt it will happen unless mandated by DOH.

I would be fine with that - if the only alternative is overcrowding in schools in precarious conditions (no social distancing, no masks etc). I am trying to keep my kid from getting covid, a novel idea.

I feel like my kids' elementary charter is setting the stage for more virtual learning in the fall.

1. I don’t think this is going to happen.
2. But if it does, I think either my husband or I will quit our job and homeschool. Possibly move in with relatives for a year for in-person, but I think if things are bad enough for dc to close another year, they’ll be really bad everywhere. What I can’t stomach is another virtual year for my first grader. I just can’t do that to my kid.

First. That’s never going to happen. Schools in upper NW opened 4 full days a week. No one central office or Bowser gave a crap that schools in other wards didn’t open.
Elementary schools opened. Middle/HS did not.

We would move and put kids in an open public school system. Probably in New England, where people aren't as stupid as they are down here.

Why would DCPS close all schools "for the sake of equity"? That's not going to happen. My plan honestly would be to join a lawsuit. My child has an IEP and his services cannot be delivered virtually, so they need a really good reason to close schools.

I’ll move. Everyone else in the country will be open. It would be catastrophic to shut schools again so I would try not to worry too much.
