How do you know that when the state doesn’t even have that info?Actually, we do know. Almost all transmission is occurring in homes. If the parents have been getting sick, then the kids would have too. The latest surge for younger people is because they have stopped following the mandates and are visiting people in their homes.
Given what you even quoted for me, what is wrong with what I said??? From that quote, it sounds like a school is fine to offer just two options: hybrid or online.Incorrect. And our districts are awaiting legal advice or an update to the wording of the bill (AB 77).
Quote from a recent article about it from a district superintendent: “The law states that there are only two reasons that you can go to distance learning - one, if it’s ordered by the state or county, and two, if you are medically fragile”.
With state funding tied to whether they follow the guidelines set forth from the state, they really have no choice in the matter. From our County school superintendent “Schools should be prepared to reopen classrooms, at least partially, unless ordered to keep them closed by local or state health officials.”
So I will take the word of teachers, district superintendents and our own County superintendent, who are sitting in on these discussions to know what’s actually going on.
Regardless of what you quoted or referenced, or believe, like I said, schools can provide the option to do full-time distance learning, and that is what the majority of schools in the East Bay will offer. And many will not have a full-time in-person option.
Even worse if there is no form of HVAC. At least with A/C, you have air being moved and some level of air filtration even if it is just a cheap filter. Kind of like being outdoors.There isn’t AC in the majority of the classrooms around here and would could likely get away with not turning the heat on until later in November. Personally, I think they should hold classes outside until it gets too cold. Outside + masks seems like the safest option for everyone.
