1. Stupid ass move.

They changed the data set used to make school decisions. Rather than using county or local figures, they’re going by how many are affected in each school. On the contact tracing questionnaire, there are no questions about schools.

My future DIL goes back to work today in Christina. She’s a para working with autistic and special Ed preK-K students. Not only does she have to be concerned with her own kids, but they mix classrooms for an hour a day, so she has those kids/teachers to be concerned with. She has like 3 autoimmune diseases. Hoping and praying she doesn’t get it. If she gets it, pretty sure our house will get it since our son is over at her family’s place daily.

5. And Christina isn't the worst.

They have 2 cohorts of kids, each coming 2 days/week i think. Colonial School District is still remote. Red Clay has most kids coming every day...some are remote by choice. Eek.
