Schools closed until February? (part 3)

TallyRand

Wouldn’t worry about schools, surely the clear evidence since sept is that schools don’t cause mass spreading......numbers would’ve been through the roof at an unprecedented scale for the last three months or so.....move along nothing to see here

After schools closed , an email was sent informing management of a 40% reduction in the hygiene budget for schools for this term . Expect to see lots more cases , lots more closures .

Tony said this is most likely due to less testing on xmas day and yesterday, to expect a jump in the coming days.

To be expected really when there was less testing over the last number of days.

Yes, I think there will be a massive jump coming now.

What is the story with the cut in the cleaning funding. Who ordered that?

It makes no sense... what is the justification for that? Is there any info or press she has put out on this? Can anyone post what was put out/how they knew it was reduced? I'm interested to see the justification on this and because I would speak to our local TD about it.

Considering the new strains, it could change back before new term starts.

Could be Pascal and/or Norma. Who knows and really does it matter. Says alot really.

I can't see any school opening till at least the third week in January. Massive risk opening them again on the 6th of Jan with the way numbers in the community will be at that point.
It will be announced late this week I'd say.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

I know, but I like to speak out about these things when it really matters. I don't want this funding cut in my own kids school. I need to go to the TD with more than rumour (not that you teachers aren't in the know).

Teacher's must be bricking it come January.

There was an email sent to principals around lunchtime on the 23rd. Officially on holidays but par for the course with this department.

Mental health and wellbeing of those who run our schools my ar$e.

In my opinion we'll 100% be back. This is driven by political motives. Mehole has staked his reputation on all schools being fully open.

Would the principal be willing to forward that do you think? I'm the pa chair if that makes any difference...

Not a notion.
The numbers by next weekend will be up on 2k per day. Based on what schools were told before Xmas and those ever increasing numbers there's no way schools will reopen on the 6th. There is massive circulation in the community at that point and many schoolkids will have travelled the length and breadth of the country.....

Principal has earned their downtime, just leave them alone to send time with their family.

So what were schools told?

I was speaking to a friend in the UK today.
Over there, in bad parts, they want to try test school students every three days.
They're looking for people to go into the school to do the tests.
I commented that you'd need to be well paid to consider that.
She laughed and said that they're expected to volunteer!
Good luck with that Boris.

I'm in the downtime mode too, no worries there. :pac: I wouldn't have asked until school is due back, too right.
