Thursday, the Salt Lake City School District announced their plans for reopening In a Covid-19 world. If Salt Lake City is at the Orange level (or above) of Governor Herbert\u2019s reopening plans, schools will be completely remote. Better said, parents will be trying to teach kids with some help from teachers. This flies in the face of the the Governor saying that all schools will be in-person [in some form] next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if they achieve the low risk phase of Yellow, students will attend in-person school two days a week. It appears to be a Monday\/Wednesday versus a Tuesday\/Thursday in person schedule. High school students would have a similar but slightly different schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to note, that they don’t provide any option better than that. They don\u2019t talk about a green level where kids go to school five days a week for the normal amount of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know where Park City schools stand. I have heard that there are groups looking at various options and they have to report by July 20. Then, we have to submit our reopening plans by August 1 to the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had hoped things would be relatively normal. I had resigned myself to a four-day, in-person, school week, like Jordan School District says they are doing. That would be workable at least for our working family. However, if Park City adopts three days of at-home learning like SLC, that is going to be a real problem. How far behind are the kids going to fall? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God help us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
