Maybe posting pictures of minors without their consent, but again that eliminates anyone with a Facebook account. That just leaves the 1 or 2 weirdos (that I probably would have been friends with) without any social media accounts. That’s an easy way to make sure the students left physical distance
If you expel students for posting things on social media...you are going to run out of students pretty quick

I don’t even think they can ask for mask compliance. Didn’t the governor sign an executive order banning any rules requiring masks in the whole state?
Yep, and got in an almost legal feud with the Atlanta mayor over it.
After attending the orientation tonight for school, I doubt the kids will be distancing. Many of the classrooms consist of the double seat tables. The hallways are about 8ft apart because lockers were not originally part of the school, so no distancing there. And they are the stack style so either a kid will be over or under mine. The district said only 20% of the district chose Elearning, so not many will be missing in her school. If I'd seen what the setup was before, I'd have chosen it, and depending on the next week I may force them to transfer her to it. On top of the transportation department didn't bother to show up, so don't have a bus number, location, or pick-up and drop off times and we start Monday. I highly doubt that multiple kids won't be effected by a single positive case.
My kid‘s district had a plan to give parents the option but they decided to go all virtual. The bus situation was the one thing that was really lacking. They only committed to attempting to limit bus seats to no more than 2 kids if possible. How is that distancing in any way. It’s logistically challenging to come up with ways to distance in certain aspects of school, but that just seemed to me like an attempt to get everyone to drive their kids to school.
Perhaps they should just set up classes and home rooms in a way that would allow the students to remain in the same classroom all day and have the teachers change classrooms.
They are doing double bus runs in my sons district. A bus will do half it’s normal route drop off students and then do the other half of their route.
Our district was considering that for certain classes.
Our district was planning on doing double bus runs too but they normally have 3 kids to a seat at the elementary school level so that’s still some seats with 2 kids if nobody opts out. It also was making it so the kids picked up first got to school up to 45 mins early and the kids on the 2nd trip home waiting around up to 45 mins for the bus to come back. I think they were hoping enough people opted out of busing and just dropped their kids off and picked them up.
Thank God for work from home. My office is setup almost exactly the opposite of what you would want with a pandemic: open office, no cubicles, cafeteria with salad bar and hot buffet area, no way to distance. We found out earlier this week we are working from home until Jan 4 now.
Oh wow, Jan 4. It's almost surreal to hear a date like that considering offices started closing in... March. We don't have a date but it's basically until further notice at this point. When they hear about cases within the office I'm sure no one is in a rush to come back. There are some going in but it's completely voluntary and I'd guess less than 10% are going in regularly.
The crazy part is I’m pretty sure I left my coffee cup on my desk with a little bit of coffee at the bottom. I can‘t even imagine what‘s growing in their now. I thought I’d be back the next day and haven‘t been back in almost 5 months now. We have some people who were deemed essential for the summer in the office and starting Oct 1 they are allowing people to go back with permission but limited to 25% of capacity and only in staggered desks. We also have a thermal camera in the lobby and they shut down all the common areas like cafeteria, seating areas, gym and even the kitchenettes with the coffee makers. I have no reason to go back if 3/4 of my team is going to be at home anyway.
We did the staggered desk thing in June. I expect that when we do start to go back again, that's still the case. I was only going into the office twice a week for 3-4 weeks until we shut it back down when the cases spiked.
