Dr. Glass, I agree with Sara. We are looking for clear ownership of the district’s stance on this. Your teachers are anxious, confused, and fearing for their safety and their lives. We need a straight answer and clarity from upper admin. Either we are required in person, or not.

I feel like every response is to just “go check the manual”. Can you please give us an answer in your words? If I answered my students’ questions with “go re read the text book” I’d get dinged on my evaluation.

Haha! No but seriously, @JeffcoSchoolsCo, you KNOW that under your current plan you will have employees die. You know that, right? Are you okay with that?

I barley can breathe in my mask at times, I couldn’t imagine being an elementary aged student with a mask on potentially in a classroom without air in August. – at Denver, CO

1/ More than 500 teachers, staff, students and parents from across the state have shared w/us their thoughts on schools reopening during #covid19colorado. It's a complicated conversation.
As the school year approaches, we'll keep adding to this thread. Here's what you've told us

Thought this might be helpful.
A study from South Korea finds that children between ages of 10 & 19 can spread #coronavirus at least as well as adults, suggesting that middle & high schools may seed new clusters of infection.
Children < 10 transmit to others much less often.

I don’t want any of my students to contract coronavirus when they come back to school. Not on my watch. Return to school #OnlyWhenItsSafe. @COJasonGlass @jaredpolis @JeffcoSchoolsCo @JeffcoPH
"The more we learn, the more likely it seems that children are highly effective vectors for transmission . . . a return to the classroom now—even with thoughtful precautions—would create excellent conditions to test just how quickly COVID-19 can saturate a community."
Lakewood High School will have a 5-min passing period to transition between classes. That's about 1,000 students packed shoulder to shoulder in the hallways at the same time 3x a day. @JeffcoPH, could this cause community spread? @COJasonGlass @JeffcoSchoolsCo @jaredpolis
My son's elementary school will be 100% in-person on 9/8. District guidance is to socially distance students 3 ft apart. @JeffcoPH says "Avoid close contact (at least 6 ft.) with others." @COJasonGlass @JeffcoSchoolsCo @jaredpolis
