this is from a local superintendent from a pretty affluent school district in Columbus. 

 

There could never be a vaccine. Governor needs to be brought into reality.

 

We haven’t missed a day in the office or the factories.  If you manage responsibly and people take heed of the personal hygiene guidelines, continuing to function ‘semi-normally’ is achievable.

I don’t take that as schools closed til fall 2021. I take it as it may take until fall 2021 for things to truly get back to normal. Meaning school year starts on time, but there will be social distancing, shortened hours, no school lunches, etc.

Yea I didn’t infer they would stay completely closed, just not fully open as we might be used to as in maybe some type of blend of home and school or shorter hours. Who knows

And sounds like probably no sports.  Which is going to hurt a lot of kids with respect to athletic scholarships.  I wonder what the ruling would be on a kid taking a year off school hoping he can play football in 2021.

CDC recommends social distancing for pets.

Trump expected to issue "stop sniffing butts" order.

You mean the students will not be fed. If that’s what you mean there is 0% chance of that. That’s all the people outside of the schools care about. Every school around here is sending buses full of food everyday to differing areas of the districts for lunch.

I guess I just meant the typical way they feed students (cafeteria ladies!). There will be more of a catered style of lunches I’d  guess.

I was told by a good source that schools may not open fully till fall of 2021

What line of work is your "good source" in?

Yeah? Isn’t that what I said? Lunches changing was one of the 3 examples I gave and obviously there will be a ton more.

The same one that had the article saying they directed schools to have no live graduations but same article said recommends they don’t.

ODE and DeWine better have a sit down quick because schools wanting any chance at having a live attended graduation of some form and the 2 aren’t giving the same answers.....I predict tomorrow or Thursday DeWine will clarify.

If one school has a live graduation with parents there and those around don’t....shit will burn

I’m just sharing some things that have been going around my circle since I am in education.  No one really knows what will happen. I do know they are preparing for a scenario where we aren’t fully back to school. Hopefully by then we are back in school. I must admit I didn’t see it coming. I fully assumed by fall we would be back to normal

Meals on wheels. The cafeteria ladies cook it, tray it, and deliver to classrooms.

Half days......kids are out by noon.  Go home and spend the rest of the day with blended learning

Planning on it.  OHSAA arent changing anything.  They are moving football anywhere.  They are talking about letting some sports happen like golf and CC but no contact sports like football and soccer.

As for graduations....There is no way they cant have it in their stadiums.  Invite parents only and video it for others.  Keep kids 6 foot apart wouldnt be hard.

I agree with this. Not just the governor, but everyone else claiming a vaccine is needed. A good treatment will go a long way. There's so much we don't have vaccines against, but treatments have helped tons.

My university is planning for all classes to be remote in the fall. Only essential hands-on activities (e.g. labs) will be allowed to be held on-campus and will be limited to no more than 10 students/room. This certainly may change, but this is what we were instructed to assume for fall semester room-booking purposes.

With this scenario... no school lunch time.  Pack lunches all morning for the kids that need them, send them home with the packed lunches.
