my school district opens in 3 weeks, they are giving parents the option to request a waiver and have the kids learn at home , this is the rest of there plan

Elementary students will be “cohorted,” meaning grade levels will do things together in isolation from the rest of the school. Lunches will be socially distant, and “specials” such as music and art will be brought to students in their classrooms, rather than them going to a different classroom shared by all students.

* They’ll go outside as much as possible, where students can take “mask breaks.”

* In secondary schools, not all students will be in the hallways at the same time and teachers will monitor the hallways to make sure students keep masks on and are physically distancing.

* The only non-school personnel in the schools will be gifted and TeamMates mentors.

* No carnivals, open houses or other such gatherings. Joel noted comments from parents that students get together outside of school with no social distancing, but said school officials must control what they can.


* The half-day attendance plan favored by parents won’t be financially or logistically feasible. LPS conducted a survey more than a month ago asking whether parents preferred having students go a half-day every day or attend every other week if school populations had to be reduced. He didn’t say what the alternative would be.


* LPS and the agencies they work with will continue to offer Community Learning Center before- and after-school programs, with certain safety protocols in place.

* A plan for extracurricular activities, including sports, is still being developed in conjunction with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department. Contact sports, he said, increase the risk of spread, as do large gatherings of spectators.


* The face-covering requirement will include discipline procedures for students who refuse to wear them, with the ultimate consequence for continued refusal being a move to remote learning.

NC gave some basic guidelines and is looking to leave it up to the individual districts beyond that.

I keep asking myself who TF these people are, but then I have to stop myself and remember the history of this country. They just doing what they have always done. It's just that in 2020 we get to see more of it and it's a ruthless trip to the top......... Once again on the back of someone else. Have not seen any of these fukksticks offer up their children it themselves. Lots of nursing homes need volunteers right now.

Maryland schools, at least a couple counties, are going fully virtual for the first semester.

My aunt was pretty pissed at the news since she works during the day and won't have time to supervise my cousin (12 yrs). She was hoping for at least a hybrid/staggered model

Gonna be an interesting back half of 2020.

The home school situation requires a lot of discipline and structure. My job has put off everyone returning to work until late/early next year but sent out a memo stating that people who will need to work from home because their children will attend school virtually will be able to do so for as long as they need.
