I appreciate the effort for them to go back- it's either Mon Wed or Tue Th

for two weeks to get everyone acclimated and keep the numbers down. The other two days are virtual. Hope is to go back 5 days a week in September- but at least they are going.

They have lunch in one of their classrooms and it's brought in so no crowds in cafeteria- things like that

Has the teachers union organized the sending of wills to the board yet? -- Vienna_Hokie 08/18/2020 10:39PM

So far all has been civil- I think maybe a little aggressive with the temp -- bigbadbird 08/18/2020 10:43PM

Kids will adjust to it... and if they don't, it is most likely because -- HokieSignGuy 08/18/2020 10:11PM

I don't think most have a problem with the masks- they don't have to wear -- bigbadbird 08/18/2020 10:13PM

Not in Montgomery county. Mask required at all times. ** -- HokieGator 08/18/2020 10:38PM

True. But if you start a contact tracing of the scenarios -- Hokie1992 08/19/2020 08:57AM

Just voted to stay on schedule. It was a 4-3 vote. ** -- HokieGator 08/18/2020 9:59PM

Ohh, is that what that vote was for? ** -- HokieSignGuy 08/18/2020 10:02PM
