That + 15 days.
This post didn’t age well. Neither did the OP. To think we could have done this all last year too. Such a shame.
I’m a teacher and have fallen into the trap of that thinking too. But as much as it sucked I think back then staying closed was the right choice. We didn’t have vaccines so cases WOULD have been higher. And we just didn’t know much. The virus was only 6 months old then. I’m relieved we are managing it this year with few outbreaks but vaccines help as does knowledge of exactly how it spreads so we can mandate mask and have air filtration etc.
There were schools open in other states so we have data on what would have happened.

When you look at the numbers by school it is NOT concerning. 1-3 active cases for most schools on the dashboard, and for the majority of those schools the close contacts quarantine doesn't suggest entire classes are quarantining. Yes, there are a few schools with what I would consider 'outbreaks'. Now that we are a month in, I would be much more concerned if numbers of active cases were compounding and that's not the case (yet).

Nope. This isn’t even an option, unless families signed up for it back in June.
No one is going virtual. Not happening. LCPS even reduced the quarantine period for close contacts from 14 days down to 10, so policies are becoming less stringent, not more so.
