of 5-day in person. Prior to that we were on a hybrid plan from the beginning of the year (2 days in, 3 days remote).

It was a frustrating decision because our kid's school has had 0 cases across kids, teachers, and staff. But the rest of the district has not been so lucky, and it was becoming a staffing issue with a handful of teachers/staff testing positive and then a corresponding larger amount in quarantine.

So they made the decision to go fully remote across the entire district. Wish they could have been more nuanced in their approach, and I think it has a lot to do with the teachers unions.

They've planned for the next two weeks to be fully remote and then go back, but I think we all feel that is unlikely. I'm really hoping so. Having my kindergartner and second grader at home full time is not good for anyone, especially my kids.
