    The "not answering the door even if they say they're police" thing is part of most lockdown procedures.

    At our school during a lockdown your room is cleared when police or admin unlock your door with a key. Even if they announce on the PA that the lockdown is over, it's not. The thinking is that it could be an announcement being made under threat.

    Yep, at my school only the police unlock doors after a real lockdown.

    Ah, wasn't thinking that way. So people jetted and having trouble refilling spots. Been hearing that retirements have gone through the roof, along with the oft-mentioned quits.
     

    A lot of teachers walked into new state expectations they weren’t expecting this year and have announced they are retiring in December. Don’t see it getting better for a while because there won’t be enough new grads to replace them.

    Any insight into why? Lack of applicants? Lack of qualified applicants? Pay too little? COVID fears?

    A lot of people left the profession over the last couple of years. People with enough years to retire chose to do so in larger numbers than usual. It’s always been a hard job in relation to the pay, but it’s gone too far and people are bailing. It’s actually true for administrators as well.

    99% of school districts would ask their principal to take down those pictures.

    That's because 100% of school districts have plenty of no value-added do-gooders and politicians and bureaucrats would rather waste time on meaningless crap than deal with real issues.

    As a principal, that’s about 90% of my time. Have to get the real work that actually helps the school done on nights and weekends.

    When is this happening? My 4th grader's whole class was sent home yesterday to quarantine because one of the kids tested positive. They've all been masked so I'm not super worried about it but we're getting him tested soon so he can get back to in-person school. He's upset that he just got back to "normal school" with his friends and it only lasted a week before having to come back home.

    Starts tomorrow 

  7. Big change coming. If there is a positive case in a class, nobody has to quarantine if the positive person and the people that were around them were both wearing masks the whole time. Lunch could still be an issue but it will end the whole class quarantines. 

    If you are a close contact due to lunch or some other reason you can get a test 5 or more days after exposure then come back on day 7. This second part is in place now.

    My kid tested negative via molecular PCR test.  Highland Park has now modified the quarantine requirement and said that if he remains symptom free his mandatory quarantine ends this Saturday instead of the 10 days they originally stated, which means he's back in school on Monday.  I think everyone is making this up as they go along as they realize positive cases will start to ramp up and they want to minimize the time students are out of school.

    That’s a district change that just came out. The rules are about to change again Friday. Fun times.
