Our district has several exceptions, including anyone who has developmental disabilities that make it impossible to wear a mask, or oddly enough ‘anyone whose parents cannot safely get them to wear a mask’. Unfortunately, I feel in person learning is key to success for many special needs kids, however, other than saying masks will be optional for these kids, the district has given no info, so lots of parents had to choose remote or not, and with that little info, no one felt the kids were going to be safe - we‘re having a pretty decent spike right now. So lots of parents here saying remote school, even though that simply will not work. It’s depressing for sure, these kids are being underschooled if remote, or put in notable danger if inperson, no good choice for them.
