As of Thursday, December 3, 80% of staff also indicated a desire to remain virtual.The superintendent also said recent health data related to COVID-19 was another reason for his recommendation. Last week, for weekly COVID-19 cases."Though the latest research tells us that the risk of within-school transmission is quite low, it isn’t zero. And were infections to occur in our schools, severe consequences are much more likely, given our family and staff demographics," Kamras wrote in a message to families last week. Kamras noted that recent news about vaccines is encouraging, however, it's not likely that the general public will have access to them until late spring or early summer.Richmond School Board member Jonathan Young said at Monday's meeting that would allow for some students to return to Richmond classrooms."[My] proposal prioritizes the wishes of any teacher/staff along with families to stay virtual for the balance of the academic year. Indeed, the overwhelming majority of our stakeholders indicated in our survey a preference to stay virtual because of the incessant threats relevant to this awful pandemic. In the survey, a minority though a significant percentage of stakeholders nonetheless indicated a preference for some kind of in-person learning even if limited," he wrote about his plan which would allow to opt-in to teaching in-person starting March 1.Young admitted his plan was complex and would cause "additional disruption."The virtual School Board meeting is scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m.Copyright 2020 Scripps Media, Inc.
