Wouldn’t it be great if our elementary schools were staffed for 11-person classes?? Would be amazing! But they aren’t, which is why this plan is a total debacle. All the kids remaining virtual are going to have a serious degradation of their experience when class sizes swell and teachers shuffle, with no guarantee the kids most in need of in person actually get an in person slot, since DCPS will lottery those slots instead of consulting with teachers and principals to target them. Just remarkably poor planning towards a worthy goal.

Under no circumstances is this a legitimate return to school for the district.

I agree, we should do ALL sped kids, at risk, and ELL. That’s most of the kids in the district.

I might be Ok with this but I am sure this would have been plan A for the mayor and they couldn't make it work.

If you exclude Lafayette and Murch from the numbers it's possible.
