Our School Reopening Plans
-
Lucas is a senior and will have shortened days anyway so he will likely just work from home. I can’t help but wonder what this means for school budgets? Will spending be up or down? Transportation costs should be down... Facilities costs should be somewhat lower... Materials and Supplies costs will be drastically reduced... At the same time, there will be new and unexpected costs.
-
Due to Luke’s DE classes, he will take the 2 day in person option. We will skip the bus, however. Their plan is to limit to 1 per seat, every other row. They estimate that the 75 person buses will carry 11 people.
Niiiice.

Dual Enrollment. He gets college credit.

And that lasted all of two weeks.

In other words, the teacher’s union won.

Yup, the teachers won more days at home with pay for doing nothing

Not to plug it again, but the NYT’s podcast The Daily had a good episode about school reopenings. Link below.
Anyway, @LuFins-Dad looks like Fairfax County is doing the same. The ripple effect this has throughout the region and workplaces is enormous!

Not sure this is true for all school districts in the US. In talking with some friends, the school may have remote learning, but the teachers are required to be in the building to do the remote teaching. For them, it will be a regular day schedule.

Right, every State, City and County make their own rules.
And the feds can threaten to take away money when they want to make some rules.

True, Copper. But don't forget the average percentage from the feds is around 12%, mostly going towards Title I. So, it's not huge.

@Copper Sorry to hear you have such a low opinion of teachers, Copper. All the teachers I know are working harder than ever to make learning still happen, no matter what situation we find ourselves in.
