Re: School reopenings. Nearly all the school-based studies are BEFORE and do not account for the new COVID-19 variants that stay viable in the air longer and are more contagious than what we have been dealing with up to this point. It's unbelievable to me leaders miss that point
UK is locked down including their schools until March at least. This is from Boris Johnson who didn't believe in the virus to start with. reuters.com/article/us-hea…
When the price of getting it wrong is sickness or death...and vaccines around the corner. Shouldn't we err on the side of caution and at least we have our teachers protected?
Teachers and administrators should NOT have to choose to risk their lives for arbitrary openings--especially w the horrible track record about how civic leaders have gotten this wrong.
It bugs me policies are created that educators are required to do in-person unless they have a doctor's note. What about the the at-risk people in their household or that parent they are taking care of?
We do NOT know the risk of the new COVID variants in schools. In fact, at this precise date 1/31/2020 - the U.S. had only 6 identified cases. We are starting the line a year later in an unimaginable worse shape. Only difference is hope of vaccine doses to protect eventually.
How can anyone imagine we are in better shape reopening now than let's say last year March or April?

If you are bored...pick a random place in the world you have never been and you don't know much about (maybe never want to go) Fly around the location using Google Earth. #virtualtravel #pandemiclife
Conflict zones and crisis zones are interesting. Puts geography in perspective why some places are hot spots.
Then there are places I've never heard of that are just fascinating geography - like #Reao in the South Pacific. What's your crazy discovery?

Powerful! Tim Cook - "Technology does not need vast troves of personal data stitched together across dozens of websites and apps in order to succeed." inc.com/justin-bariso/…
"Advertising existed & thrived for decades without it, and we're here today because the path of least resistance is rarely the path of wisdom." - Tim Cook.
"If a business is built on misleading users on data exploitation, on choices that are no choices at all, then it does not deserve our praise. It deserves reform." - Tim Cook

Don't be that district! Wouldn't hurt do a end to end policies review and categorize them as relevant, irrelevant, requires modification. Create a blanket waiver for all of the irrelevant ones and a blanked set of temporary policies that override the current ones until revoked.
Have a small 3-5 person policy review work group to do this work and to draft the blanked waivers and temporary policies for approval.
If this is not addressed, the amount of time, resources and emotional energy wasted is enormous --this is how unnecessary organizational chaos happens--even if it is low humming, it is still there.
