Thinking the same thing Terri. Definitely could cause sustainability problems for many corps as well as DCI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The private school I work at has halted all outside groups from using our campus facilities until further notice. We are planning on the kids not returning from March break. We are in uncharted times but we will get through this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly for people who are not District residents and taxpayers. Imagine if a school district does host a corps and its staff. Everything goes fine, as usual. But, shortly thereafter, it is discovered someone who stayed at the school was infected. Time to disinfect the entire school campus. Fear and added expenses. Maybe taxpayer outrage. With current guidelines suggesting distance between persons, imagine the usual 150 kids sleeping body to body all over the gym and hallways. This might have to be hotels instead of schools.. Honestly, if this situation isn’t cleared up soon, I believe most School Boards will choose to sit the year out. Not worth the risk. Can you blame them?

Can you blame them? Or what happens if a corps or staff member or driver for that matter gets a positive test result while they are there. Does the entire corps have to "self Quarantine" at that site for 14 days ? A number of colleges have canceled "in person" classes for the Spring semester. The Ivy canceled all Spring sports. Can't see these places "opening up" to house a corps. Most schools around here are "sanitizing" every night. Again,who picks up those costs if they house a corps ?
