'We just don't know enough information—and unfortunately, we're going to have to act.' With continued uncertainty around the coronavirus, parents and educators are being forced to make difficult decisions as the school year approaches.

that there would not be enough staff available to continue instruction.

As a result, most schools have become hyper-focused on their own local virus data, with some looking to the World Health Organization's recommendation that fewer than 5% of an area's daily tests must turn out positive for 14 days before schools in the area can reopen.

Miller, in South Carolina, said her board anguished for months before finally deciding on offering parents a"hybrid" option, starting Sept. 8. The option allows parents to choose in-person instruction for their kids two days a week -- a move that cuts down the number of kids in a school at one time to allow for social distancing.

Many parents agree with DeVos and want to at least try to move ahead with in-person classes as much as possible.

zivinilee Thanks to the great “leadership” of BetsyDeVosED and realDonaldTrump

MontcoCourtNews 2400 weak people overreact.

All kids need to be tested before they even step into a classroom.

The lockdowns were the biggest mistake. Should not be repeated.

Leaving decisions up to the “local level” is why this is so freaking bad in America right now. We need nation wide mandates. Unfortunately trump doesn’t have the balls to do it. He doesn’t want to be the bad guy. He need to step aside and let the grown ups run the pandemic now.

What is wrong with you people. Trump said its time to open our economy and look what happened. Now he said send kids back to school. What is wrong with you people trump is always right and never lies. So this has to be your fault.

Gah. Someone make it stop. Nov. 4th can’t get here soon enough so this will all disappear.

ABC TRYING TO THROW THE KITCHEN SINK AND HOPE IT STICKS....do you really know how few 2000 is against the population of the schools? There are over 50 million students and teachers in our schools and 2000 is probably less than the average sick out on opening day.... .00004

Weird

I think realDonaldTrump is attempting to create just enough doubt so when the results show he lost in November, he can file suit, which will go all the way to the Supreme Court, where he believes his stacked bench will rule in his favor It's a long game And it just might work!

. Is anyone surprised? .

Almost looks like the PAC-12 made the right decision

crimsonblu22 Didn't see that coming....

slow motion my ass

Who could have seen this coming? Answer: Literally the entire world minus Republicans.

2400 out of how many people? Give all the facts.

Seriously - look at those four - couldn’t lead one of those boat charades. The only thing they have done with COVID is 170+ US deaths. “It is what it is.”

No one should return to school until they have the same level of testing as Trump

What the world needs is the only one that is the first time the world is the only way out of the main market in a few weeks of life in a way where it is true to be a part in the 12th generation

Slow-motion train wrecks are the safest kind, everybody has time to get out of the way and jump off, not many injuries usually.

Why don’t you report how many recovered? How nobody was even showing symptoms? How nobody died?

Betsy DeVos seems to be getting her way with destroying the public school system. Betsy and Trump have no logical plan for our schools and no intentions on creating one. Their plan seems to be one that throws the kids in class and say, it is what it is.
