I’m not the poster you were asking, but that’s not CT. The preliminary plan for us was released Friday, with details to follow.
They are planning on regular five day a week school, and they are expecting kids to wear masks all day. I work in special ed, and for some of my kiddoes, just keeping their shoes on all day is a challenge. They are planning on regular bussing. Our busses are packed. They also decided against temperature checks, which I think is a huge mistake. I’d prefer temperature checks TWICE a day, because lots of kids come in after taking meds at home, and then go downhill in the afternoon.
The education commissioner was asked if districts were going to supply the masks, but he didn’t answer the question. Our district is high poverty, and some of the families won’t be able to provide masks.
All in all, I am not pleased with this plan, and I don’t feel it’s safe. Some of the kids we have in our class can be fairly aggressivei, including biting and spitting in our faces, and they are not going to understand the need for distancing and masks. A lot can change in two months, though, so we will just have to wait and see.
