Of course, this is the same school district that decided this year was the year to start switching kids 4th and 5th grade kids between classes 4 times a day, all at the same time. In those 5 minutes during the switch the teachers are supposed to sanitize the classroom.

Every time they make these policy decisions I remind my mother to get it in writing and keep records, because if nothing else it will set up a lawsuit if she gets sick.
If there was a check list of things that you could do to make in-person school work, what you have described would be the exact opposite. Ugh...

This pandemic has really shown a spotlight on the incredibly poor decision making that occurs in this state. There is probably a reason for this considering we're one of the worst educated states in the country...
