Just announced not going back. All online school for remainder of the year. I'm sure HISD, DISD and CFISD will soon follow.

Lame.
Schools across the entire country, outside of year-round schools (possibly), will be online for this school year. It just hasn't been announced yet. People need to prepare for that now so they are not shocked over the next few weeks as the announcements roll out.
**UGH**
At this point, I believe it is less likely than likely, but there is a possibility that school starts remote in the fall as well. There are already universities out there preparing for this possibility, and I've talked to school district IT departments that are at least having internal discussions about "what if."
Don't be surprised at anything at this point.

No chance this happens
i said it is not likely at this point, but if you don't think it is at least a possibility, you have your head in the sand.
You can google the numerous articles where schools are planning for this exact scenario.
Again, at this point, i don't think it is likely, but a second wave of this crap is a possibility.

Been hearing the same thing from school districts we do business with.
It's too early to make a decision, but none them want to be "that one" which goes back and creates a major outbreak.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Dallas ISD Board of Trustees will be considering a proposal which would prevent grades from the Spring 2020 semester from being factored into a student's GPA.
My wife is an assistant principal at an elementary school near White Rock Lake and they're not expecting to be back on campus for this school year even though nothing is official from the district at this point.

Do I have my head in the sand because I don't think it's a "possibility" to win the lottery? Of course it's a "possibility". So is anything and everything.
It's not happening though. Schools in Texas have prepped for earthquakes as well.
Your opinion is rooted in fear and panic, not logic.

schools might be one of the last things to come back
i'm not afraid or panicking. I have no kids in schools. Schools being closed does not affect me. Or may it does, as it could actually help my wallet, as IT purchases would likely increase. I was sharing information I am privy to through conversations that are happening. People are planning for this possibility, whether or not you or even the people planning for it believe it will happen. That is actually a fact.
Well, then if this is going to happen across the board, whats' going to be the deal with summer camps? Or do our increasingly inside-living, increasingly computer/video games kids just stay in for 6 months? That sounds like a great outcome.
I would have thought that a month ago, now I am not sure.
If schools arent open in September its going to be really hard for School Board Trustees to ask for more money from taxpayers next go around. From what I've heard our ISD is already concerned with future budget shortages outlooks. Hard to justify spending money on buildings, classrooms and teachers when none are being used to their fullest capabilities.
Do you get pleasure in spreading your panic/doom and gloom propaganda?cone said:AggieOO said:

it's a virtual certainty
Baffling to me that this surprises any of you.

AGAIN... it is a fact that Texas schools are prepared for earthquakes... do you think it is useful worrying about one happening in the near future in Texas?AggieOO said:

Guys, BE PREPARED for this news that could happen that's so mild and generates nothing but "oh...ok [shrugs shoulders]" in the way of a response.
This is correct. There are several posters here (including OP) that are having a hard time seeing the forest through the trees.tysker said:

If kids are not going to school for another 8 months, we will have a lot more to worry about than school buildings. America as we know it will be no more.
Good thing this isn't the case. I can't wait for next month for the first wave of "normalcy" to get people out of this doomsday line of thinking.
I don't understand how this is doom and panic
in what situation would there not be a second wave?

I am not even going to justify a direct response. You have been one of the most negative/over-dramatic posters on here the last few weeks.cone said:

You know this, and only you know why. My guess is because fear and negativity give you a false sense of "control" again. You are not the only person to feel this way, but you need to know it's not real.
According to a qualified Dr, there wouldn't be a second wave if you send kids back to school now and hide all high risk people.

For any of you who are active with your school leadership/school boards, you know that no school is going back this year. You would also hear that there is a real possibility that there will be no summer football, volleyball, cross country, or band this year. You would have also heard that the real likelihood that nothing preseason will happen, and that all things will start on the first day of school. You would have heard that most schools are planning on not having preseason games, and just starting with district.
That there is BEST case scenario.

Hard to justify paying expensive tuition for virtual classes, colleges are underestimating how many people will sit out a semester. Incoming freshman will delay a year or semestertysker said:

Some people are still in denial it seems. America as we know it will be no more if schools don't go back in 8 months? Really?
why would America collapse over schools being out for the rest of the calendar year?
if anything it's the sort of trade off required to "get our asses back to work"
you want to promote as much economic activity as possible without propagating the virus freely/widely. large gatherings, church, schools... that's the stuff you open last, the stuff you open after we're as back to work as can be managed in those circumstances without uncontrolled outbreaks. that's the stuff you open after mass produced effective therapies.

I'm going to guess you won't give a response because you can't
given how little of the population has had the bug and how supposedly infectious it is, there's nothing you really can say
Yes... really? You think the economy can withstand 6 more months of this?TxAG#2011 said:

Second question, do you know what an economy is our how it works? It requires more than just upper middle class jobs with people who can work remotely.
You are the one in denial.
I can't say much other than to rely on the words of doctors and researchers who are MUCH smarter than you.cone said:Quote:

so there wouldn't be a second wave if we made this first wave even bigger/worse
well I guess I can't argue with that
well I guess I can't argue with that
feel free to link to their comments on no second wave of infections beyond this one
We may start school in September. We may start football and extracurricular activities in September. But IF a second wave hits, this current shutdown will look like child's play.
Nothing will be normal again until we have a vaccine. That's the only truth.

This is also not true. You need to do some research on the concept of herd immunity.75AG said:

There is a stickied thread on the last few pages that talks a lot about this, and directly how you are wrong.
