Glad some people are getting to experience this - happy your kid is getting to attend school in person. Hope mine can get that in September.Jbob04 said:
School started at our local school today. Small rural 2A school. Dropped my kiddo off this morning and he was so excited to be back.
Great! What county are you in?Jbob04 said:

Good luck suing a school district. They have sovereign immunity (at least in Texas, not going to speak to other states) so you're going to have to prove gross negligence and that's a pretty high bar.Knucklesammich said:
It's not liability from students it's liability from teachers brought as a class action under safe workplace practices that has some districts up at night.
I agree with you by the way, I think liability is more an idea of threat than an actual one but yet here it is none the less.

Our public schools have agreed to let a private company use their buildings to run day care where your kid can be for 8 hours and get on their virtual classes.

I can tell you it won't be the 50+ year old subs that work in my area. It was already next to impossible to get a sub for a single sick day. Add on Covid and we are going to be sol. I've been trying to get a sub for a September wedding, and the 10 or so subs I've spoken to aren't subbing til this all blows over.
I can tell you that my school is just under 50% and the elementary school my wife works at is at 56%. I'm not sure why KISD would lie about this and athletics is not driving this at all. Seven Lakes HS has one of the highest online class loads out of every school in the district.HowdyTexasAggies said:
I find that 51% very hard to believe. Unless, I wonder if there was a concerted effort by athletics to actually push their kids to go-online to avoid the dumbassary of someone positive in school causing the players to get quarantined over nothing.
Something doesn't add up.

Not suggesting they are lying, but that something other than fear of corona is driving it.
My daughter and several others in BB and VB athletes had to get tested because a positive in the mix (1BB, 2VB). None of those with primary contact have come positive. Either the protocols work or following CDC is overkill. Very disruptive what turns out for nothing.

My own kids experience with online in the spring (1st and 4th grade) was so negative that we are not considering online unless forced. No qualms at all about sending them to school.
Most of my friends who are not doing in-person have withdrawn and are homeschooling. They all have stay at home moms which makes a big difference, obviously. Not an good option for my family.

This made me laugh. I live in Collin County. Our district is in an incredibly red county. Our town is run by the very conservative Baptist church. The second biggest church in town is Mormon. It's a VERY conservative suburb. The overall split between remote and on-campus learning is 50-50. I guarantee you that not all of the people whose kids are staying home are or were Beto supporters. It's just not possible when the demographics of the town are considered.
